🎬 OREGON FILMMAKERS — MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD

The Oregon Media Production Association (OMPA) is working alongside Film USA, the Motion Picture Alliance, and the Coalition for American Production to advocate for a new federal film and television production incentive designed to bring production work back to the United States. OMPA will be joining the coalition in Washington, D.C. next week to advocate for the legislation. Fwd- You Can Help Bring Film & TV Production Work Back to the U.S..pdf

They need as many signatures as possible by September 15.

Whether you’re crew, a producer, actor, director, vendor, filmmaker—or simply someone who understands what a strong production industry means for Oregon’s creative economy—your voice can help. Fwd- You Can Help Bring Film & TV Production Work Back to the U.S..pdf

📲 Scan the QR code and sign the letter to Congress.

And please share this beyond Oregon. The campaign will direct signatures according to the ZIP code entered, so filmmakers and supporters across the country can participate. Fwd- You Can Help Bring Film & TV Production Work Back to the U.S..pdf

Let’s keep film and television production—and the jobs that come with it—working here at home.
