Oregon’s in-state film and video industry has been growing steadily and out-of-state dollars are spread throughout the business communities in filming locations including hotels, restaurants, lumber yards, hardware stores, office supplies, antique stores, retail shops, and wages to Oregonians.
Our most recent impact study was commissioned in 2026 from ECONorthwest. A link to the full report, along with other previous reports, is below.
