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.

S1, E2: Mike Caron20 May 202500:42:55

Welcome to Oregon Indie Film, a video podcast that shines the light on Oregon's independent film industry. I’m your host, Dawn Sellers. I interview Oregon’s independent filmmakers who offer insights into the creative process, challenges, and triumphs of making movies in Oregon.

I had the pleasure of sitting down in the studio with Portland screenwriter-turned-filmmaker, Mike Caron. Mike and I first met last year when he cast my husband, Doug, in his western Strike the Wind. Since then, we've become friends and collaborators—working together on Strike the Wind and other exciting projects.

In this episode, we explore how indie filmmakers not only get their films made, but also how the landscape of independent film is evolving—especially when it comes to distribution and financing. Mike shares his journey into filmmaking after careers in other fields, how he’s written so many screenplays, his early creative experiments, and how he continues to grow as a filmmaker.

You’ll also pick up screenwriting tips and hear what to do when a deal falls apart—because, as every filmmaker knows, it’s all part of the process.

S1 E6 Anna Campbell06 Jun 202501:03:06

I have been following the progress of Anna Campbell and her film NORA for a while. This is a film that walks the line of film, musical theatre, and music videos. But it is about much more than the music, it explores the struggle many women face. We are told we can have it all, but can we really? NORA navigates this path with a current day narrative many of us will relate to, infused with flashbacks that are big, beautiful, emotional, and reminiscent of when we all thought our lives could best be explained in a flashy music video.

This episode features Devin Febbroriello, writer, director, producer and co-owner of Desert Island Studios, in Portland, Oregon.

It was a pleasure to sit down with Devin to chat.

E 15 Alicia J Rose12 Aug 202500:51:28

This episode features award winning Director, Filmmaker, and Photographer, Alicia J Rose.

From music videos to politics, to a hit web series, she’s received wide acclaim from The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, A/V Clug, Paste, Out, and others.

Her current production Menopunks is a bold, unapologetic documentary that exposes the truth behind science and silence. Backed by a fierce lineup of iconic Portland musicians, hormonally radicalized medical practitioners, and celebrity powerhouses - Menopunks cranks up the volume on a conversation long overdue about menopause and women’s right to thrive through mid-life and beyond.

E 20 Christopher Jennings12 Oct 202500:37:08

The Eastern Oregon Film Festival’s sixteenth year happens this week in La Grande, October 15th through the 18th bringing a curated program that includes 9 features and 41 short films along with filmmaker Q & A sessions, music, parties, and a special staged reading of Bad Day for Bigfoot, the Field Trip project chosen this year.

I am joined today by Christopher Jennings the director and founder of the Eastern Oregon Film Festival.

It was a pleasure to sit down with Chistopher to chat about how La Grande welcomes filmmakers not only for the festival but also throughout the year for location scouting and filming. We chat about how the festival began, the growth it has experienced over the last sixteen years, and big dreams for the future of the festival.

If you want to experience the festival films without making the drive to La Grande, they offer a virtual option so you can watch the selected films online. But just a four-hour drive from Portland, affordable accommodations, and plenty of in person opportunities to meet and mingle with the visiting filmmakers I encourage you to check out this great eastern Oregon town. Tickets are still available.

I hope you enjoy my conversation with Christopher Jennings.

David Poulshock is a Northwest filmmaker and musician whose projects have won over 90 awards, including 9 national Telly Awards. He is also an Oregon Music Hall of Fame Inductee.

David's film Space: A Meditation on the Meaning of Art is having it's Portland Premiere at the Tomorrow Theater on June 12th, 2026.

It was supposed to be a simple feature documentary about a local landlord’s quest to convert the run-down industrial complex NW Marine Iron Works into a thriving art scene. But the eccentric artist Tim Stapleton moved in to one of the new studios — on his own quest to paint until his dying breath as ALS took over his body — and everything changed.

As the buildings transform into over 100 artist studios called NW Marine Art Works, the film explores the existential question, "Why make art?"

SHOW NOTES:

The premiere is nearly sold out. David notes in the episode that there will be another upcoming screening. Follow David Poulshock or watch his website for updates.
