Dear

Director’s Letter

OMPA members,

September’s CallSheet is chock full of information which is certain to inspire, inform and, for all of our SourceOregon listers, ignite a call to action.

For the past six weeks OMPA has worked with volunteers in the industry who were willing to help us identify ways to improve our SourceOregon listing categories. The impetus to bring a stronger directory grew out of a conversation on the set of Portlandia. OMPA heard and took action.

The directory is a resource that is used in three unique ways. Foremost, the listings in the directory serves as a “who’s-who” for professional jobs. All listers are subjected to a vetting process so anyone unfamiliar with those listed can feel confident that these individuals had three references to verify their work.

Oregon’s Film and Video Office shares the directory with production companies who are inquiring if filming in Oregon meets their budgetary demands. Having a strong crew base entices and sweetens the argument that Oregon does have it all; incentives, location and excellent crew.

Finally, OMPA uses the SourceOregon directory as a statewide example to our legislators that this industry is strong a community who live, work and vote in Oregon. I can’t deny that the more industry professionals OMPA has listed in our printed directory easier it is for me to show the depth of crew, vendors and talent who contribute to the economic health of Oregon.

So, please take a moment to understand the changes we are proposing for the listings categories (pg.16), find where you belong and update your listings. The deadline for our printed directory is November 30th.

Once you’ve completed your call to action, sit back and reward yourself with “An American Assent,” interview with Andy Adkins (pg. 22). Take the journey with this award winning documentarian and #OMPAmember to the summit of Denali. The process of production seems to mirror the challenges of a rigorous climb and Adkins honestly portrays his lows and highs.

Finally, my friends, it continues to be a joy to advocate for the film, television and interactive industry. As we bid adieu to Grimm, we are confident that our industry is prepared to take on the next challenge. OMPA is here to be the hub for our community and will continue to provide networking opportunities (pg. 27) and promotion of #OMPAmembers.

Membership matters,

Janice

meet tylerinterninterview st. pierre What are you studying?

I’m currently studying film at Portland State University. I’m a senior. Our program is a really broad overview film degree, more so than I would have liked in a film program, so it has forced me to really dig deep on my own time to figure out what I want to focus on. I’ve since found the area of producing to be my greatest strength.

What are you hoping to do after school?

I’m hoping to find work. I think that’s what every film student says, right? More seriously, I’m planning on moving down to LA to follow up on some contacts I’ve made through an internship I had at the Cannes Film Festival. They invited me down and it would be a mistake to not try to see where it could take me.

Excuse me, the Cannes Film Festival? How did that happen?

I had an extra hour after class one day and decided to use it watching this guy talk about an impossible internship in Cannes. A month later, I had an email telling me I’d been accepted. I was doing video work for the American Pavilion. They’re a hosting company for all the American guests on the Croisette. It was an unreal experience and gave me more than I ever could asked for. A film I produced was also playing in the Marche du Film, so I was really on cloud nine every moment there. I’m planning on going back next year. This time, we’re actually gonna sell something!

How did you get interested in film? What was your inspiration?

James Cameron’s Titanic, and then years later, Rob Zombie’s Halloween. Both very different films, but both really intrigued me. I wanted to know how they did it. Be it, break the Titanic, or create these horrific and realistic death scenes. I knew there was a process behind them, so I looked into it and it fascinated me. I was hooked on how you could make people believe something is happening that is just so out there all through these tricks in production. Horror movies especially are a behind the scenes dream considering how much extra work has to go into making things work on screen. It started more of as an afternoon interest, it’s since grown into a livelihood.

Why did you get interested in OMPA? I’m friends with an Excellence Award winner – hey Bruce Lawson! I first heard of OMPA after he won this last winter, and I briefly looked into what they did and I thought it was super cool. My significant other is a political science major and so, because of her, I have a natural affinity for advocacy. When you put that and film together, it’s like the best of both worlds. When my summer began and I got an email with a list of internship opportunities with them on the list, I emailed Janice right away.

What has been your favorite part of interning at OMPA? The spontaneity of things and how involved I’ve been. Have you noticed a new logo on the Facebook page? I designed that! You may have also seen me on the set of Portlandia last week, because the office is always moving and OMPA is constantly trying to be active with their members. I think that’s the best part. They really try to be there for their members. Even one of my own screenings was in Monday’s Mail – How often does that happen to an intern?! Exciting things are on the horizon and I’m pretty stoked to be a part of it.

#OREGONMADESHOWS

Oregon Film exhibit at the Portland International Airport In collaboration with PDXART, and many other partners, a new exhibit is up on Concourse E, at the Portland International Airport this week. The exhibit showcases “vignettes” of artifacts, props and images from just a few of the 400+ feature films & television shows that have utilized Oregon as their production backdrop over the years.

From the early silent era films like “Fisherman’s Bride” (shot in Astoria, 1908), to “Grimm”, the popular NBC television series currently shooting in Portland, Oregon has played an important role in production. #OregonMadeShows bring considerable collaboration, recognition, revenue and employment to the state. The #OregonMadeShows exhibit will be up at PDX for 6 months.

In the fall of 2016, be sure and stop at the new Hollywood Theatre@PDX. The theatre will feature “short films telling stories specific to Oregon, provide artist residency opportunities inviting collaboration between national/international media artists and local filmmakers, and host special events and visiting guests.”

Also of note, the Oregon Historical Society has a vast moving image collection of early local filmmakers, early newsreels, family movies, commercial/industrial films, and scenic and wildlife films, some of which can be viewed at the museum.

For more #OregonMadeShows related events around the state, and production news, visit The Confluence blog.

Article from the OregonConfluence.com. Blog continues with more information detailing the exhibits.

SHANGHAI Faders PDX produced short horror film SHANGHAI FADERS has been busy making the rounds on the festival circuit. Becoming an Official Selection at nearly a dozen film festivals to date and winning multiple awards along the way.

The film follows a sarcastic and entitled man’s unfortunate trip through the mysterious past of a condemned building in Portland, where he is confronted by a group of supernatural Hobos. “The aim was to make something that was creepy just for the sake of being creepy, and to do it all in good fun” says writer/director & OMPA member A.J. Gordon.

Inspired by The Twilight Zone and Portland’s actual history with the shanghaiing trades during the turn of the century, SHANGHAI FADERS blends classic horror and supernatural genre aesthetics with a tongue in cheek approach that TMFF.net calls “Mysterious and Enthralling.”

Produced by A.J. Gordon, Christina Kortum, Brian Sturgis, Ryan Barton-Grimley, and Sascha Fix; the short film was shot over a rainy weekend in December with an all-star group of local cast & crew (many of which are OMPA members) who graciously volunteered their time, resources, and skills to make the project a reality.

SHANGHAI FADERS will be available online in January 2017 at the conclusion of this years’ film festival run. Local screenings included the Oregon Short Film Festival on August 30th and the upcoming Oregon Independent Film Festival at the end of September.

An interview american ascent with director andy adkins AN AMERICAN ASCENT documents the first African-American expedition to tackle Denali (aka Mt.

McKinley, North America’s highest peak), while shedding light on the complex relationship many African-Americans have with the outdoors. As the United States transitions to a “minority majority” nation, a staggering number of people of color do not identify with America’s wild places. By embarking on the grueling multi-week climb of 20,237ft Denali, nine African-American climbers try to bridge this “adventure gap” - challenging outdated notions of what adventure looks like by changing the face of America’s biggest and baddest mountain on the 100th anniversary of its first summit.

Andy Adkins is a video producer, editor, and motion graphic artist in Portland, Oregon.

A few of Andy’s career highlights include a two season stint as Senior Producer for the Emmy-winning Montana PBS series TERRA, and a recent Emmy for his editorial work on the nationally televised documentary INDIAN RELAY. His film career began in earnest in 2006 when he co-produced and edited the award-winning documentary SOURCE TO SEA and he has since produced films for the National Park Service, National 4-H Council, and many other organizations. His commercial work includes producing the GET LOST, and HIGH PLAINS broadcast campaigns for Montana Tourism.

Andy has an MFA in documentary film.

All An American Ascent images by Hudson Henry.

An interview american ascent with director andy adkins What is your background and how did you begin documentary filmmaking?

I received an MFA in documentary film in 2013 but was busy editing and producing before that. Filmmaking has been in my blood since I was in high school making ridiculous videos with my friends. When I say it that way it makes it sound like nothing has changed!

How and why did you get involved in this project?

We heard that this expedition was happening about six months before it was set to begin, and met the climbers involved through a promo video we shot for the expedition (Expedition Denali from the National Outdoor Leadership School) about a month later. Once we met the climbers and learned more about the project we knew we had a good story on our hands and we couldn’t believe no one had stepped up to make a proper film about it. We decided we needed to make that happen - it was too important not to.

Why was it important to film this journey?

The outdoors, and especially what we like to think of as adventure sports are really lacking in diversity. It’s a white (and mostly a white man’s) pursuit for the most part and that isn’t going to change without pointing a few cameras at the exceptions like the climbers in our film. It’s important for this to reverse this for several reasons.

For me, the top three reasons are 1) Those of us who do spend time outdoors understand the physical and mental health benefits of getting outdoors and especially getting exercise outdoors, so it really needs to be accessible, not just available, to everyone. 2) If the outdoor/adventure community really wants to be a healthy community, I think it should be a community with voices from a diversity of backgrounds and points of view.

3) Participation in the outdoors leads to an appreciation of the outdoors, which leads to a desire to protect the outdoors.

Did you climb the entire way with the group? Have you ever done anything like that for a film before and would you do it again?

Our crew climbed the same route and distance as the rest of the team. It was definitely the most demanding thing I had ever done in terms of the physical endurance required. Thankfully we had a great crew and were able to spread the weight and shooting load across several of us. It was an incredible experience and I would do it again - but not for a while still. I spent many months on the film after the climb and sometimes it feels like I’m still recovering from the whole experience.

What is your personal philosophy regarding documentary filmmaking and what do you aim to achieve in the medium? How did that manifest itself in An American Ascent?

I’m certainly not the first person to say this, but films and documentaries in particular let viewers experience a little bit of what other people coming from very different situations and different backgrounds experience in a really comprehensive way. In An American Ascent this had to work on several levels. We wanted to make sure viewers felt what it was like to spend several weeks on a mountain - to succeed, to fail, to be exhausted. But we also want viewers to feel the motivation these climbers felt to participate in this unique expedition and climb the highest peak in North America.

An interview american ascent with director andy adkins What were the biggest challenges during each production phase?

In pre-production, we had to contend with a lot of physical training. We had to make some difficult decisions about what to bring - putting weights of every piece of gear in a spreadsheet, then figure out how best to power our cameras. We also had to think about our risks from a narrative perspective and figure out what the story might look like with different possible endings.

Production: Other than the incredible amount of weight we had to carry on our backs, being so physically limited in our movement was something I wasn’t used to. We couldn’t just run off and shoot from anywhere and were essentially embedded with the team. This was good because we got to know the team very well, but it was also challenging because we had all the same restrictions - like where and when we could move.

Post-production: The biggest storytelling challenge was that climbing Denali is a long arduous, even tedious expedition - step after step, day after day. How do you make a film that captures the grind without feeling like it’s a grind to watch? It took quite a few revisions to find that balance.

What was your favorite moment of the journey?

Starting our 10,000 ft descent from 17,000 ft camp to 7,000 ft camp was a magical moment. We left late in the evening as the sun was setting, we’re on are a knife edge ridge - it’s one of the most iconic features of the route, and we’re looking down on clouds, thousands of feet below us, and watching an epic drawn out Alaskan sunset.

How has the film done since you released it? Where has it shown and how has it been received?

It’s been incredible well received in African-American communities and at Black film festivals around the country, and these are the communities we knew we wanted to reach so it’s been very successful in that way.

It screened at a White House event last summer, and this spring it was the film selected by the DC Environmental Film Festival to screen for 3,000 youth from the DC area. Those are a couple notable screenings, but between festivals and other screenings it’s shown in almost every major city throughout the country at this point.

Has anything surprised you since the film has been released?

I’ve been surprised by the long lifespan of the film. We figured interest in it would peak early but then would have simmered down by now but it really hasn’t and interest keeps building. I don’t think we quite realized how much of a content vacuum there was about people of color in the outdoors. But there is a real demand for that content and our film filled that void more than we imagined it would.

What is next for you?

It’s hard to do projects on the scale of this film very often and stay sane. I’m working on smaller, closer-tohome projects for a while.

Do you have any parting words of advice for individuals considering a career in documentary filmmaking?

Embrace the ridiculousness!

An american ascent HOST A SCREENING The goal of the film is to inspire kids in cities (particularly kids of color and kids with limited opportunities) to consider the outdoors as an option, and to simply provide an aspirational alternative to the simplistic mainstream “single story� we hear too often about African-Americans. Many of the organizations who directly reach this audience are small non-profit groups without deep pockets, so we like to be able to offer the the film for a reduced fee (or for free) to them. Your fee helps us subsidize these important screenings.
