One piece of the puzzle that is missing: post-production. As a motion picture & video editor, I strongly support the incentives that bring productions to Oregon. Even though I haven't earned a dime from them, several of my close friends and colleagues have landed work on Leverage.

Once these shows wrap the finishing & delivery work literally flies away to other cities. If Oregon had an equally attractive incentive for post-production an even greater number of professionals and facilities would be gainfully employed here locally. And I would much rather work here than having to seek out opportunities in Seattle or California.
