One thing that has to be adressed is that we are only talking about less than half of what it takes to produce a movie.  Now a days a movie can be shot for 2 months, but be in Post from 6 months to a year.

More and more movies are spending more time in Post then they are in principle photography production, and if you are just hiring grips and pa's from Oregon for two months, we are not even touching a fraction of what could be consistent work for Oregonians.

Vancouver, BC still dominates the post arena for productions posted north of LA.  If portland figured out a way to bring post to oregon it would employ more people for longer periods of time then the two or three live action features brought to oregon every other year.
