Oregon Indie Film

Oregon is an amazing place. With ocean beaches, rugged coastlines, raging rivers, snow capped mountains, lush forests, and barren high desert. From urban cities to rural towns, we have all the film friendly locations. The talented actors and professional film crew members make Oregon an ideal place for independent filmmaking. These are many of the reasons so many films are made here.

Oregon Indie Film is here to shine the light on the films and filmmakers you may not have heard of . . . yet. Short films to feature-length, narrative and documentaries, Oregon Indie Film focuses on the diversity and talent of Oregon's independent filmmakers and their contributions to the state's vibrant film scene. They are making movies everyday. Many of these movies are screened at local or international film festivals and some are distributed around the world.

I’m Dawn Sellers, the host here at Oregon Indie Film, in each episode I’ll interview these industry professionals that are making it happen.

An award winning filmmaker myself, I write, direct, and produce stories for both film and stage. I am one of the founding board members of POV Filmmakers a nonprofit that fosters networking, collaboration, and resources for a community of independent filmmakers in the Portland, Oregon area.

I’ve served on the board of the Portland Chapter of Women In Film and other local arts organizations. I enjoy connecting members of the community to help them follow their passion of filmmaking. As I became involved in the local film industry I quickly realized that Oregon is well on the way to being the indie film capital. In fact, that is the branding I’m going for. A fan of many filmmaking podcasts myself, I decided that the world needed a podcast focused on the industry here in Oregon. So join me. Follow or subscribe, listen in, and hear from the professionals themselves, their insights into the creative process, challenges, and triumphs of making movies in Oregon. We’re talented, creative, gritty, and we have stories to tell.
