Claudia,

Thanks for letting me know. Looks like I will be able to get a roll from Mark Ursetta before our production starts, after all. And that way he can then just bill the film for it.

Appreciate the help,

Danielle

As the end of production for "The Bag" draws near (I'm script supervisor and casting director), it makes me wonder what you all are doing. Where are your projects? Anything interesting starting, ongoing or completed?

Hello SOFaT members,

Some of you I've meet, some I haven't yet, but I will be working in Grants Pass
on the 'Rogue River' film, from Nov. 27th - Dec. 22nd. I live in Ashland, so I'm
desperately trying to find a place to stay in GP during the shoot, to save
myself the almost 2hr daily commute. If you, or someone you know, has a couch,
room, or is going out of town and would like their place looked after, would you
please let me know. Even if it is for part or all of that time period, it would
be a great help. I'm very responsible and respectful. Just looking for somewhere
to sleep and shower :) Of course would be happy to pay for my costs while there.

Thank you all very much,

List in the online and print SourceOregon.com statewide media directory

Another call to list going out to you. The production opportunities are heating up in Oregon, and this is the place where a lot of people look for crew. Many of you are getting work from your SOFaT listing, which is very thrilling and exactly what SOFaT is all about, but you should be marketing yourself statewide as well. Short listings are free, and detailed listings start at only $35. You don't have to be an OMPA member, and your affiliation with SOFaT will be noted in your listing if you let them know you are a member. SOFaT will benefit directly from your listing fees, and it benefits much more in increased presence in the state media scene.

Time is running out for the Free listing and the Early Bird Discounts. So click on the links below today and renew or get listed.

And for those of you who aren't yet in SOFaT, now is a good time to consider doing both - list in SourceOregon.com and become a SOFaT member. The benefits are many, and the opportunities are growing. We've been informing the members of many local and regional job opportunities, including two local features that shot this fall, an upcoming feature in Grants Pass that we have been working with the out-of-town producers on to help find crew and vendors, a testimonials shoot in Medford, a documentary in Klamath Falls, the winner of the Netflix Screenwriting competition that is interested in shooting their movie in Ashland, and lots more to come. Plus, we have many fun and interesting activities to network, socialize, and learn. The SOFaT website is receiving a lot of hits, our phone is getting calls, our name is getting more and more out there, we've joined the Ashland Chamber and the Medford/Jackson Country Chamber (the largest in the state), we're planning some big events with the ashland independent film festival, and all of that is still just the beginning.

You'll find the link to join SOFaT at the bottom of the email. Please take a moment to consider joining. Check out the website, talk to other members (you all know someone who is a member), and get listed locally and statewide too in SourceOregon.com.

“Producers, production companies and new media producers regularly contact our office to find pre-screened crew and services. We always direct them to the SourceOregon.com directory.”

Tuesday gathering

Gary Kout is out of town working tomorrow, so let's gather and talk behind his
back!

Seriously, though, there's been a lot going on in Southern Oregon film lately.
Several productions shooting this month or gearing up. For our November meeting,
let's get together for some informal talk and relaxation at Blondie's Bistro in
Grants Pass. Have a bite or try one of the 50 cocktails on their menu, such as
the Habanero martini. For those not familiar with Grants Pass, take the northern
I-5 exit onto Sixth Street and get in the right-hand lane. Turn right on G
Street, and Blondie's is in the shopping center at Sixth and G, at 226 S.W. G
St. www.blondiesbistro.com This gathering is open to members and non-members, so
bring along someone you think might be interested in joining.

Don't forget that our Dec. 1 meeting will be a big one: elections! If you have
not expressed interested in being on the board or nominated someone, now is the
time.

Oregon Producers Alliance (OPA) presents

NW Film Financing 2: Movie Marketing

Saturday, December 05, 2009 from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM

in Portland, OR

OPA's Film Financing seminars continue with this next installment, focusing on Movie Marketing.

SOFaT members get the same pricing as OPA or OMPA members, and register early to also get the Early Bird Discount. Details at http://nwffmarketing.eventbrite.com/.

Event Description:

For decades all a filmmaker had to do was make a great film, license it to the highest bidder, and sit back while the distributor figured out how to market it, booked it into theatres, leveraged the ancillary rights and collected the money.

Today, traditional one-stop pick-up deals have all but vanished as the costs of theatrical distribution escalate and a new frontier of digital opportunities emerges.   Making back your investment, much less making a living at filmmaking, now requires savvy marketing to compete on the festival circuit and attract a mix of viable distribution partners, as well as paying audience.

Through this intensive one-day workshop, attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the tools and strategies needed to maximize revenue through theatrical, VOD, TV, DVD, digital downloads, educational and other channels.

Presented by Lyla Foggia, the morning session will spotlight how some of the most successful indie hits broke through with niche marketing, along with professional tips and techniques on how to do it yourself. The afternoon session will feature panel discussions with industry experts and local filmmakers sharing insights and winning tactics from the trenches.

About the presenter: Portland-based independent film marketing and publicity consultant Lyla Foggia is a former TriStar Pictures vice president who served on the senior marketing teams for over 75 major motion pictures at three studios and two leading production companies. She was also the unit publicist on such films as “E.T. – The Extra-Terrestrial,” “Splash,” “WarGames,” among others. Since 1999, Foggia has consulted on numerous indie films, including “Selfless,” “Not Dead Yet,” “Raising Flagg,” and “Street.” For more information:  www.foggiapr.com.

Panelists to be announced shortly.

For event information call OMPA (503) 228 8822

“NW Film Financing 2:  Film Marketing” is being sponsored by Gales Creek Insurance and the Governor's Office of Film and TV, in association with the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network.

da Vinci Film Festival Late Entry Deadline Drawing Near

The "late entry" deadline for submissions to the 2010 da Vinci Film Festival is Nov. 1, 2009. Film submissions can be made via Withoutabox (withoutabox.com), an online service for film festivals. Accepted films will be screened in Corvallis, Ore., venues during the festival March 12-14, 2010.

Inspired by the innovation of Leonardo da Vinci, the festival welcomes filmmakers of all ages and abilities, including professional filmmakers and new artists seeking their first festival screening.

Films will be accepted in the categories of Narrative Features, Narrative Shorts, Documentary (features and shorts compete in one category), Animation, Experimental (shorts only), and Young Filmmakers (K-12). Feature films must be 120 minutes or less. Films in short film categories must be 30 minutes or less.

All films will be judged by industry professionals, and cash prizes will be awarded to the winning film in each category. The festival committee also will present the Audience Favorite Award and the Spirit of da Vinci Award, given to the film that best exemplifies Leonardo's eclectic world view.

The festival is especially interested in works that incorporate themes of art and science, but all submitted films will be considered for selection.

"This year, we are seeing increased numbers of short film submissions and not as many features," said Film Festival director Lainie Turner. "But we're looking forward to receiving last minute submissions that will include features in all genres."

Selected films will be presented in intimate theater settings at the LaSells Stewart Center on the Oregon State University campus and downtown at the Darkside Cinema, an independent three-screen venue that specializes in bringing art, foreign, and independent films to Corvallis audiences. Special encore screenings of selected films in each category will be showcased during the da Vinci Days Festival in July 2010.

Filmmakers will be hosted as festival guests, and join a special filmmaker panel that will take questions from the audience. The festival also will host an opening-night reception and other networking opportunities to give filmmakers an opportunity to meet and discuss their work.

For more information, call the da Vinci Film Festival director at 541-908-1848, or visit the da Vinci Film Festival website: www.davincifilmfest.org/

About da Vinci Days

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some able-bodied and eager representatives to attend a couple events on behalf of SOFaT.

The first is tomorrow at noon, an Ashland Chamber luncheon hosted by Living Opportunities. Sounds like there will be plenty of food and a good opportunity to network. The location is at Pro Tools, 210 E. Hersey St.

The second is a dinner on Thursday night, also a Chamber event, to commemorate an auspicious anniversary with our sister city of Guanajuato. SOFaT will gladly pay for 2 seats at the dinner for a couple energetic members who will preach the SOFaT gospel.

And of course, I encourage anyone who can attend these, as well as the weekly Greeters, to promote themselves secondarily.

Please let me know if you can do one or both events, and I'll give you instructions on how to get some SOFaT materials - cards, articles, etc. - from storage.

Thanks,

Van Sant begins new feature film “Restless” in Oregon

The Governor’s Office of Film & Television is pleased to announce that Gus Van Sant (Milk, Paranoid Park, Last Days), plans to direct his next feature film “Restless” in Oregon this fall. “Gus has established himself as a true Oregon artist and I’m pleased that through the Oregon Production Investment Fund we could help him bring his next story home,” said Governor Ted Kulongoski. “Gus has always been a great supporter of the local art scene and that support is demonstrated by his decision to film his next picture in Oregon.” Upon the news Film Office Board Chair Gordon Sondland said, “Gus is putting his movie where his mouth is. As a member of the board of the Governor’s Office of Film and Television, Gus has strongly lobbied producers to consider Oregon for their next project. I am thrilled that he is now filming in a place that he knows will result in an outstanding finished product.”

Van Sant is one of Oregon’s best known filmmakers. He has 2 Best Director Oscar nominations, for “Good Will Hunting” in 1998 and for “Milk” in 2009. Gus’s films have been award winners at festivals world-wide beginning with “Mala Noche” in 1987 at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. He continued this legacy as he went on to win Best Screenplay in 1989 and 1990 for “Drugstore Cowboy” (shared with Dan Yost), the International Critics Award at the Toronto Film Festival in 1991 for“My Own Private Idaho,” and in 1998 he was nominated for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Motion Pictures for“Good Will Hunting” by the Director’s Guild of America. This past decade he brought us both artistic and commercial successes with “Finding Forrester” in 2001, “Gerry” in 2002, “Elephant” in 2003, “Last Days” in 2005, “Paranoid Park” in 2007, and“Milk” in 2009.

“Restless” is produced by Imagine Entertainment’s Brian Grazer and Ron Howard, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Gus Van Sant. Screenplay by Jason Lew based on his stage play "Of Winter and Water Birds." Portland based producer David Cress is the Executive Producer. Principal photography is expected to begin early in November and will take place in Portland and surrounding areas.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some able-bodied and eager representatives to attend a couple events on behalf of SOFaT.

And of course, I encourage anyone who can attend these, as well as the weekly Greeters, to promote themselves secondarily.

Please let me know if you can do one or both events, and I'll give you instructions on how to get some SOFaT materials - cards, articles, etc. - from storage.

Thanks,
