Young Filmmakers - Early in Career - Just Getting Started
You want to become a filmmaker, but don’t know where to start?
In middle school and high school, I often wondered how to get more involved in the film scene in Oregon and meet fellow filmmakers.
Below are some of the steps and organizations I have gotten involved with to start making short films in Oregon, make new filmmaker friends, and get to where I am today!
While this list is by no means exhaustive and will be updated as much as possible, it’s a great place to start.
Resources

I didn’t learn all that I have without advice and tips from mentors and other talented filmmakers from Oregon. So please feel free to reach out for questions or advice, I’d be happy to help!
