In addition to being able to charter flights to the coast, it’s possible to make flight arrangements to the east side of the state. Flights to the Bend area can take as little as 45 minutes from the Eugene airport.

Insurance

All Federal, State, and community agencies/organizations within Oregon require production companies to provide a certificate of insurance prior to filming within their jurisdiction. The production company must maintain minimum liability coverage of $1 million, naming the agency/organization and its employees as additionally insured. A hold harmless clause is also required.

Filming Hallmark’s “Valley of Light”

Hallmark’s “Valley of Light” starring Chris Klein (“American Pie”, “We Were Soldiers”) and Gretchen Mol (“The Thirteenth Floor”, “Rounders”) was filmed in Clackamas and Marion counties in 2005. With the ability to work within the same time zone, Oregon is extremely attractive to Los Angeles-based studios and production companies. Oregon is also home to a wide variety of talented award-winning filmmakers such as Gus Van Sant, Mike Rich and Todd Haynes.
