Anna Keizer and Derek Dehanke are the co-hosts of ‘80s Movie Montage. The idea for the podcast came when they realized just how much they talk – a lot – when watching films from their favorite cinematic era. Their wedding theme was “a light nod to the ‘80s,” so there’s that, too. Both hail from the Midwest but have called Los Angeles home for several years now. Anna is a writer who received her B.A. in Film/Video from Columbia College Chicago and M.A. in Film Studies from Chapman University. Her dark comedy short She Had It Coming was an Official Selection of 25 film festivals with several awards won for it among them. Derek is an attorney who also likes movies. It is a point of pride that most of their podcast episodes are longer than the movies they cover.

After running Movietime Video for 15 years, Dan and Nancy Morrow weren't sure what their next adventure would be for the 1908 Craftsman house they purchased in 2001. A couple of artist friends told them the building would make a great art gallery and wine tasting room so in July 2016, The Gallery at Ten Oaks was launched. Over 40 artists from Oregon and Washington are represented with over 900 pieces of art to choose from. The Craftsman house is the perfect setting as art can be viewed from the main floor and upstairs - including lit closet areas! Dan and Nancy also founded and ran the McMinnville Short Film Festival for 11 years and are huge movie nerds!
