Filming in Oregon is helping our small tourism business: Portland Movie Tours® (www.portlandmovietours.com). We love movies and Oregon and decided to share that with others. The revenue our guests bring, and their excitement for the actual film locations they see, should encourage legislators to do what they can to bring film productions to the state. Without Twilight and the hundreds of other great movies filmed here, we wouldn't be able to start our dream business in this state or be involved in a business we love.

We try to be involved in filming projects as much as we can and have to say that the local crews have always been professional—not "pot smoking freaks." The professionalism and sense of humor we saw on the set of Crowley this week made it a great experience.
