The CALLSHEET
Dear OMPA Members,
Managing Editor: Jen Wechsler info@ompa.org
It is a critical time for us to stay connected and organize. The month of October at OMPA is about just that, with two huge tasks to undertake.

Our “Call for Listings” in the 2011 SourceOregon.com directory is officially open. OMPA members get $35 off one listing, so make sure to log on and renew. This is the industry Rolodex, and we want to compete with LA 411 – so if some talented person is missing from the directory, let them know. Speaking of the LA 411, did you know that SourceOregon.com sets a higher bar than LA’s book? Only qualified and experienced crew, vendors and services are allowed to list. And we intend to keep it that way. There is no reason for us to show anything but the highest standards – for which Oregon is known and respected. Our second enormous effort this month is to work together with the unions, schools, the Portland Mayor’s Office and the state office of Film and TV, along with media production professionals around the state, to raise commercial, film and TV production in Oregon to the attention of our elected officials – and rally behind those legislators who have been supportive of our industry. This sector is one of the few bright spots for jobs and general economic growth. Why? Here are a few good reasons: • Media production is a 21st century industry. It’s green, which not only means it is better for the environment, but it isn’t dependant on limited natural resources. (As Charlie Carlson put it recently, “It’s easier to grow a film than to grow a forest.”) What kind of future do we want to grow? • Film/TV content is one of the few products that the U.S. continues to export to the rest of the world, without fear that the same products will be made by foreign workers. A few high-profile New Zealand productions aside, the vast majority of domestic films are and will always be “Made in the U.S.A.” (Kudos to Bob Wadden, who suggests that films made in New Zealand – or Canada – be disqualified from the main categories for Oscar nomination, and be relegated to “Best Foreign Film”. But that’s another subject.) • Our OPIF and Greenlight Labor programs are among only a few state incentive programs that return more money to the state in taxes than they take to operate. That’s why they were the only ! incentive programs increased by the 2009 Oregon Legislature. As every freelancer and business owner knows, growing business isn’t easy, and it takes hard work and ingenuity, especially in this economy. OPIF and Greenlight Labor are two fail-safe programs that have a track record for growing jobs for freelancers and small businesses. We’ll hear a lot about how tight the state budget is, and rightfully so. The bottom line question to legislators however is whether they would like to choose to have more jobs in Oregon’s economy in 2011, or less. Come to the Town Hall at @Large and find out how to lend your voice to this cause. Special thanks to OMPA’s Government Affairs committee, and several years’ worth of volunteer investment from TJ Civis, Maile Coad, David Cress, Michael Fine, C.K. Lichenstein, Kathleen Lopez, Tad Lukasik, Lyon Films, Dan Sanderson, Bob Wadden, James WilderHancock, Eric Wiler, Gary Kout of SOfAT, Stan Roach of FOA, and Deb McManman of MOPAN. We owe a lot to these folks. Let them know!

Gary Lundgren teaches Directing for the Camera course in Southern Oregon Oregon filmmakers have an opportunity to enroll in two new courses this fall from Joma Films. Directing for the Camera starts on November 9th. The class will be held in downtown Ashland and is open to filmmakers of all skill levels. The six week course is on Tuesday evenings from 6:30pm - 9:00pm and taught by Calvin Marshall Writer/Director Gary Lundgren. “We’ve been a proud supporter of this great film,” said Gary Kout, SOFaT Executive Director and Line Producer of Calvin Marshall. “Many of our members worked on ‘Calvin’, and we’re thrilled to partner with Joma Films to offer new, high-quality, continuing education opportunities for the Southern Oregon film community.” Baseball comedy Calvin Marshall, starring Steve Zahn, Alex Frost and Michelle Lombardo, opened in New York last week to strong reviews. The Hollywood Reporter wrote, “This quirky little gem represents a career best performance by Steve
Zahn. Lundgren’s screenplay beautifully juggles the story’s alternately comic and poignant elements and renders all three main characters with surprising depth.” Calvin Marshall screened at the Living Room Theaters in Portland in late August. The film is available on DVD and Blu-ray at www.calvinmarshall.com. It will also be available on iTunes, Netflix, Direct TV, Cable, and Amazon VOD. “We love Southern Oregon and want to help build a sustainable infrastructure here for feature filmmaking,” Mr. Lundgren said. “It’s our goal to offer exceptional instruction that is affordable – the kind of classes that inspire and truly prepare filmmakers.” Members of OMPA and other film associations in the state will receive a 10% discount on the course. For more information or to register for the class, go to www.jomafilms.com/classes/sofat.html
SOFaT Filmmaker Series Special Screening Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home will be followed by a discussion and Q&A with Harve Bennett, the film’s Writer and Producer on Saturday, October 23rd, 2010. The screening will take place at the Varsity Theater in downtown Ashland at 6:30pm. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased in advanced at Varsity Theatre or on the day. A $2 discount will be offered to SOFaT members and students. Star trek IV is the fourth feature film based on the Star Trek science fiction television series, and it completes the story begun in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and continued in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
Harve Bennett was asked to help reboot the Star Trek feature film franchise after the first film met with some dissatisfaction at Paramount Studios. After reviewing all of the original series shows, he conceived of the continuation of the “Space Seed” episode, an idea which became Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Following the critical and boxoffice success of that film, Bennett stayed at the producing helm for the next 4 films. He also wrote Star Trek III, cowrote Star Trek IV and Star Trek V. Bennett left the franchise before the sixth film and finished his long and distinguished career back in television. He is now a resident of Ashland, Oregon.

Roads of Oregon Microsite OMPA members met with the Film Office and asked for the development of a program to promote Oregon as a location for car commercials. The result? A website dedicated to the variety of looks of Oregon roads. This stunning site was generated by Bob Schmalling at the Oregon Film office, showcasing ‘’The Roads of Oregon,’’ and beautiful enough to compel you to go for a drive.

OMPA’s Political Candidate Report Card Prepared by the OMPA Government Affairs and Business Development Committee
Guide: An asterisk (*) means we consider these our “Champions” in the Legislature; people who can help champion favorable bills for our industry. District If you don’t know your District from your voter card, look up “Find Your Legislator” on the Internet, or go to www.leg.state.or.us/findlegsltr Voting Record refers to the 2009 Legislature’s votes on Indigenous-OPIF (863) and OPIF (621). (Candidates who didn’t hold a seat in 2009 won’t have a voting record.) Survey Grade is our committee’s grade of the candidate’s supportiveness of our industry based primarily on their survey results and voting record. A lower grade means the candidate or legislator deserves more education on our topics to ensure that they will vote favorably. DNR means Did Not Return the survey. But don’t jump to conclusions. There are some DNR legislators who have been very supportive of our industry. With fundraising and campaigning, legislators have a lot on their plate. One staffer told us she received 7 or more surveys a week and just couldn’t keep up. Don’t be shy about introducing yourself to candidates in your district. Ask them about their job, and tell them how you make a living. The point is to be nice. We’re making friends in the Legislature, not enemies. If our research uncovers a candidate you can support, then do so. Vote for the candidate, campaign for the candidate, and raise money for the candidate. They need your help – and we need theirs. You can find a candidate’s contact information fairly easily on the Internet. To contact a candidate visit https://secure.sos.state.or.us/orestar/ CFSearchPage.do

OMPA launches Add-On Membership to embrace Actors When OMPA was formed 28 years ago, Oregon’s media production association advocated for the crews, locations, equipment, services and infrastructure that make Oregon an attractive place to produce. Since that time, our acting pool in Oregon has grown to such a level of professionalism that Oregon fields actors for all manner of television and film roles, not to mention the commercial and new media projects that Oregon regularly enjoys. In consultation with actors, agencies and performers’ unions, OMPA has created a means for actors to join the industry association either on their own, or as an “add-on” member on behalf of their union, talent agency or manager. What this means for actors is that they can now receive crew calls and other industry news and participate in the networking events and workshops that OMPA members enjoy. And for the first time, principal and supporting actors are listed on the industry’s professional directory, SourceOregon.com, which, like the 411 guide in Los Angeles, is considered the “industry’s Rolodex” for film and video production. As with the crew and other services listed in the directory, listings are vetted to include only experienced, professional actors as a showcase to the world of what Oregon has to offer. “Actors are a big part of what makes Oregon a great place to produce. You are smart, you are professional, and you deserve to be able to participate. We get that,
“ says Damon Jones, owner of Actors in Action, to the 300 in attendance at the association meeting at Indent Studios on September 17, 2010. Goals for adding actors to OMPA’s roster include producing actor-oriented events and mixers and to use OMPA’s increased membership numbers as leverage to pursue group health plans to cover the contractors who serve the industry. Actors who are not represented by an agency or a union can join OMPA at the Individual rate of $175. Represented actors need only pay $60 per year to join the association when their agent is an OMPA member. Both options include a listing in SourceOregon.com for those qualified, and while actors will not have an individual listing in the printed directory which is bound and published each year, they will receive a headshot in the online directory. To maintain a high level of professionalism in representing Oregon’s industry, all agent-affiliated actors will be listed publicly with their agent’s contact information, rather than the actor’s personal contact information. For more information on joining OMPA as an actor, a small or large business, or an industry freelancer visit www.ompa.org Special thanks to the presenters, Kathleen Lopez, Justin Habel and Damon Jones, and sponsors DTC Grip & Electric, Catering by Caprice, SAG, AFTRA, Oregon Film, Honest Tea, New Belgium Brewing, Peter Corvallis, and Indent Studios.

Last year, the 9th annual event was the largest ever with over 6,000 filmgoers purchasing 16,800 in ticket sales. Shawn Levy, of The Oregonian newspaper, said the AIFF “offers movie lovers that same sense of being in a magical place...Southern Oregon doesn’t have anything else like it -- nor, in fact, do most places on Earth.” For more information visit www.ashlandfilm.org

The films at this year’s festival include “Exit Through the Gift Shop”, “Putty Hill”, “Daddy Long Legs”, “Open Five,” and more. Additionally there will be an after party each night of the festival spotlighting some amazing musical acts from the region: Finn Riggins (Boise, ID), Yeah Great Fine (Portland, OR), and Hillfolk Noir (Boise, ID), and La Grande/Seattle Band Sons of Guns. The second annual Eastern Oregon Film Festival marks a huge evolution in bringing film and music to Eastern Oregon, a place in which these arts have not been fully appreciated.

Red Door Makes a Night of It At Spirit Mountain (Well, three nights, actually). Red Door Films wrapped a 3-day production of a campaign tentatively titled “Make A Night of It” for client Spirit Mountain Casino. “I always feel lucky working with Oregon’s amazing talent on homegrown projects like this,” said Red Door Films writer/director David Poulshock. “Great team, greatcast, great location and a great client. I’m just not so lucky at blackjack.” Apparently Poulshock dropped a few bucks at the roulette and blackjack tables after production wrapped, while other members of Red Door’s crew had better luck. Shot on the Canon 7D, the project was filmed on location at Spirit Mountain in a high-energy handheld POV creative. The :30 TV commercial and long form webisode are set to air later this fall, and feature Oregon talents Gary Cash as a “Mr. Casino” master of ceremonies, Jared Roylance as the hands of “POV Guy,” Delilah Anderson as the camera’s “Lucky Girlfriend,” and a large cast of extras. Red Door’s excellent production crew included: David Poulshock (Writer/Director), Joe Meade (DP), Heather Harlow (Producer), Bruce Lawson (1st AD), Devan Linforth (2nd AD), Matt Barbee (1st AC), Clayton Knapp (2nd AC), Baker Poulshock (Still Photographer), Ron Skrasek (Art Director), Sarge Fleskes (Gaffer), Scott Walters (Best Boy), Matt May (Best Boy), Chris Steele (Electric), Ken Riddle (Key Grip), Jim Davis (Best Boy), Brian Lawson (3rd Grip), Anna Rieke (Sound Mixtress), Shannon Hall (Stylist), Patty Harding (Stylist Assistant), Mary Manix (Script Supervisor), Kale Jessen (VTR), Peter Hurteau (Production Coordinator), Catie Bull (Office Coordinator), and PAs Nathaniel Boggess, Josh Johnson, Zach Jones, and Erica Montgomery. Dennis Fitzgerald is editing, with sound design by Richard Moore and Randy Johnson at Tag Team Audio. Equipment provided by: Koerner Camera, Pacific Grip & Lighting, Cascade Video Systems, Terry Hoffman.
