Greetings,
There is a bubbling wave of new media and film artists in the Eastern parts of Oregon, La Grande specifically. This land gave way to locations for films such as "Paint your Wagon, " where I hear Lee Marvin did a disappearing act for a week during production and was later found playing poker and drinking in a small rented room in the back of a small bar. This area is prime with location value and flavor. The wallowas and blue mountains are a great asset to Oregon and to filmmkers. I would liek to see some more filmmakers making there way here to check out the place. Locations are cheap, probably free, if approached properly and you would be amazed at the number of artists and creative souls hidden in the woods, away from the craziness. I feel that Eastern Oregon is an untapped resource and I would love to see it start to grow. With respect and wonderful intention this area would become a filmmaic wonderland.
If you are interested in this area contact me and I can help you make arrangments. I am currenlty working on a million dollar film for just under 30K. There are good people here.

Cheers.
