bringing a sense of history to 100+ years of production

For well over a century, Oregon’s diverse towns and regions have served as production backdrops for more than 500 films and television shows.  From early silent films like The Fisherman’s Bride (shot in Astoria in 1908) to recent shows like Portlandia, Grimm, and Shrill, the film industry has flourished in Oregon, bringing recognition and important economic growth to countless locations. 

The Oregon Film Trail is a statewide network of recognizable trail markers, placed at significant filming locations and strategic points across Oregon. The Trail stitches together many communities, locations and notable films; it provides the scaffolding to connect, retell stories, and celebrate Oregon’s rich contribution to filmmaking since the early 1900's. Oregon's film history constitutes hundreds of feature films & television shows that have utilized thousands of locations around the state.
