To Dfilms81 The state did just that last year. It's a new program called IOPF. I've happily made a living here in film for almost 20years. If you would like to get involved more in helping shape policy in regard to the film industry I would suggest looking into the Oregon Media Production Associastion or The Oregon Producers Aliance. Both good groups working with state and local policy makers trying to make Oregon the best place it can be to produce both big and small productions. David Cress Producer.

I agree and would like to ask Why are we building a U of O building in Portland? Why not move those programs along with other vital job creation programs like electrical engineering to the Portland State Campus. In fact why not cut out the turf wars entirely by creating 1 university and placing programs where they make the most sense geographically. It seems that this would create a great deal of savings that could be passed along to students and in the long run create a better more diverse economy for Oregon as a whole.
