Oregon Increases its Film & Media Incentives

As of July 1, 2022 Oregon Film has increased the in-state labor rebate from 10% to 20% and the rebate for goods and services bought or rented from Oregon vendors from 20% to 25% for film and media projects basing themselves in the state. This change to the Oregon Production Investment Fund (OPIF) comes a year after the program funding was increased from $14M per year to $20M per year.

Now, combined with the Greenlight Oregon Labor Rebate for projects spending more than $1M in the state, productions can now receive up to a 26.2% cash rebate for basing their film, series, interactive game, or animated series or film here in Oregon.

Oregon has been the home to a thriving film and media industry for more than a century with the first #OregonMade production coming in 1908 in Astoria with “The Fisherman’s Bride.” Since then Oregon has been home to many iconic productions including “Stand By Me” (Brownsville), “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” (Salem), “The Shining” (Timberline Lodge) and “The Goonies” (Astoria & Cannon Beach). Visitors can follow?The Oregon Film Trail?– a cinematic attraction that is unique to Oregon – to celebrate the production locations for those titles and many others.

More recently Oregon hosted new productions from its world renown animation community including Guillermo del Toro’s “Pinocchio,” Key & Peele’s “Wendell & Wild” from director Henry Selick and Laika’s upcoming “Wildwood” as well as acclaimed films like Neon's “Pig” and “Metal Lords” on Netflix alongside current series like "The Rehearsal" now airing on HBO.

Oregon’s film, television, animation, interactive and commercial media industry regularly contributes $200M per year to the state’s economy effecting 5000 jobs while creating content that celebrates this state to an international audience. Recent productions have utilized locations, crews and vendors in places like Curry & Coos counties, Silverton and Silver Falls SP, Jacksonville and Enterprise.
