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.

I’d like to have a complete second draft of my feature The West Cure. I’m a Boston native and very dedicated to my sports teams (sorry)! I enjoy running, though I haven’t had much time in a while to get out there. I’d like to do lots of running in La Grande!
