Film Oregon Alliance plans fundraiser

Published 4:00 am Wednesday, January 23, 2008

Film Oregon Alliance, a nonprofit organization that aims to unite film, broadcast and new media projects with the resources they need in Central Oregon, will hold its premiere event at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 31 at Village Grill, 1033 N.W. Bond St., in Bend.

The event is open to industry and non-industry individuals. However, the event is invitation-only: register at www.filmoregon.org.

Organizers aim to raise $10,000 to fund FOA’s initial outreach efforts. Admission is $25, and the event includes a silent auction and door prizes as well as appetizers, a no-host bar and networking opportunities with industry professionals. Attendees also will get a one-year premium-level FOA subscription.

FOA plans to screen a compilation video of recent film and media projects produced by Central Oregon professionals, and it is soliciting material up to two minutes in length from locals who have completed projects within the last two years.
