On Location: Spotlight on Film Tourism
Oregon has a rich history in film production, with over 700 films shot in locations across the state, including favorites such as The Goonies, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Stand by Me, Twilight and so many more. But the value of a film set doesn’t end when production wraps. We spoke with Jane Ridley, Director of Strategic Initiatives and Community Programs at Oregon Film, about the legacy a movie crew leaves behind when it packs up—and how communities can benefit from being on the Oregon Film Trail map.
