bringing a sense of history to 100+ years of production

Through a unique partnership between Oregon Film, the OregonMade Creative Foundation in collaboration with Travel Oregon and many local entities, a new statewide network of recognizable trail markers are being placed in several iconic filming locations for #OregonMade films.

​Other partners include: Oregon State Parks, Lane County History Museum, the City of Brownsville, Brownsville Chamber of Commerce, Lane County Parks, Oregon Coast Visitors Association, Astoria-Warrenton Chamber of Commerce, Astoria Parks & Recreation, Oregon Film Museum, The Flavel House, and Gleneden Beach State Recreation Site. ​

Stage 1

• Three Historic Film location sites have been installed in Astoria (January 2019).
• Another sign has been installed at Gleneden Beach State Rec. Area (September 2018).
• Three more Historic Film signs were placed in Brownsville (May 2019).
• Portland International Airport is home to a new 160ft mural and film poster exhibit for at least the next 2-3 years.  The exhibit further enhances and anchors the breadth and beauty of Oregon locations.
• Multiple additional sites, cities and locations around the state are currently being explored including Ecola Park in Cannon Beach, Salem, Joseph, Athena and Cottage Grove, recognizing iconic and varied  #OregonMade films like "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," "City Girl," "Twilight," "Point Break" and "The General" amongst many others.

Stage 2

• Designing a geographic "digital trail" for film fans to follow that will map each physical Trail signpost, support the information on each sign, flesh out additional local information for users, as well as suggestions for other sites they can visit, related tourist events etc. – essentially utilize location-based marketing by using Geofencing.
• Capture and collect digital trail users engagement at each site and throughout the state.
• Design and create a digital interface that is informative, fun and a user-friendly experience (potentially using "Augmented Reality" technology) in the form of a Kiosk that will be utilized for engagement purposes at film events around Oregon (festivals, screenings etc.), highly trafficked areas such as the Oregon Film Museum or the Travel Oregon welcome booth at the Portland International Airport.

Stage 3

• Gather unique stories, photos and anecdotes to share with the Trail user.
• Update GPS coordinates with new signs and specific shooting locations.
• Expand the experience both physically on the Trail and through interactive connections; online, VR/AR and in-person.
