Why Portland is a Great Place to Study Film & Video
Portland, Oregon, may seem like the last place in North America where you would find a film and entertainment industry. But au contraire! The market is booming, thanks to a host of topflight schools, a young but dynamic arts scene, and a lot of attention being paid to the Pacific Northwest by its neighbors down south in Los Angeles.
