The 2023 Eastern Oregon Filmmaker Residency has concluded and these talented artists shared about place, people, and their process while spending a month in The Grande Ronde Valley working on screenplays that are inspired by and or can be produced in our region.
Embarking on a journey of connections and explorations, the group has been immersing themselves in the breathtaking beauty and cultural richness of our valley since their arrival on April 30. They have ventured to remarkable destinations such as Summerville Stables, Growiser, Morgan Lake, Pendleton Underground, Union County Museum, while engaging with local veterans groups, individuals, and community members. Additionally, they have fostered connections with organizations like Oregon Film, Oregon Media Production Association, and even joined the vibrant atmosphere of La Grande Farmers’ Market, supporting local merchants along the way.
This program was possible with support from the following and many others

Inspired by, Claire Denis. Kelly Reichardt. Anything featuring Isabelle Huppert.
I hope to come away with a more deeply felt and imagined screenplay, and new friends and allies in the endurance sport that is filmmaking. I can’t wait to explore Eastern Oregon’s nature and culture and do some location scouting. When I’m not writing or making films, you may find me thrifting, eating fermented foods, crocheting, reading Historical Fiction/Fantasy, bouldering, or bowling.
