About Us
Our office hours are generally 9am to 5pm (Monday - Friday). Please call (503) 229-5832 to make an appointment.
The Governor's Office of Film & Television has been helping productions find, secure, and utilize our magnificent locations for 32 years.
Our mission is to promote the development of the film, video, and multimedia industry in Oregon and to enhance the industry’s revenues, profile, and reputation within Oregon and among the industry internationally.
Here are a few of the many hats we wear:
- Market Oregon as a filming location
- Recruit out-of-state productions
- Serve as a liaison to production groups
- Help build the indigenous film, video, and multimedia industry
- Advise other governmental entities which are creating filming regulations
- Build partnerships with local communities
- Provide consumer protection information
- Serve as a spokesperson for the industry
Our work benefits Oregon:
- Every dollar of the Governor's Office of Film & Television’s $948,788 budget generated an estimate $53 in direct revenue from out-of-state film productions.
- 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.
