Oregon film industry explodes
TORT! AND (AP) — When (he producers of a tele
vision movie about (he World Trade Center bomb
ing needed a stand-in for New Yori Qly. they chose
a city better known for its burgeoning film indus
try than its resemblance to the Big Apple
Film and television productions pumped Sfil mil
lion into Oregon's economy in 1992. said David
Woo Ison, exes ulive dins tor of the Ortigon Film and
Video Office, which promotes the state as a loca
tion for feature films, television programs and com
mercials
Wilshire Court Productions chose Portland for
"We've got a reputation of being a community
that works well with the movie industry, and that's
been our best PR.” said Lynn Wallace, the execu
tive dire* tor of the Astoria-Warrenton Chamber of
Commerce.
That reputation has translated to economic ben
efits for the community.
In addition to the money actually spent by pro
duction crews, the area's exposure on film stimu
lates its tourist industry.
"Our film industry has created another attraction
in our tourism industry," Wallace said.

I buy knew I hey could
shoot the movie in a hur
ry hen!, said Karen Runk
el. a project manager for
the film office. The Hol
lywood production com
pany previously had shot
13 other television films
in the city.
The movie will be
broadcast on NHC May
‘Part of the appeal Is the diver
sity of locations, from the
deserts to the sea and every
thing In between
— David Woolson,
executive director of the Oregon Film and
Video Office
Visitors most often
ask about Kindergarten
Cop. but Wallace said
some tourists still
inquire about the loca
tion of scenes from
Goonies and Short Cir
cuit, which were
released nearly 10 years
ago.
A pool of technical
and acting talent has

''They had a crew they could pull together here
quickly." Kunkel said
So the crew imported noise and garbage and trans
formed pads of ( lean, orderly Portland into chaot

structed a replica of the bomb crater in a warehouse,
and creative camera work makes some of the city's
buildings look more like New York.
The weather cooperated by hiding Mount St.
Helens and Mount flood, the snowcapped peaks
that overlook the c ity, in clouds
Although Woolson and Kunkel agree that Hi*J2
was probably a high-water year for the industry,
they are confident that producers will keep coming
lx‘( ause of (lie slate's diverse scenery and tec fini
cal and acting talent.
"Part of the appeal is the diversity of locations,
from the deserts to the sea and everything in
between," Woolson said.
The historic coastal town of Astoria has been the
setting of several movies, including the Arnold
Schwarzenegger hit comedy Kindergarten Cop.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III and Free Willy.
industry grow as well, vvooison said.
Megann Ratzow. who owns LAM Ratzow Casting
in Portland, cast more than 50 local actors for Ter
ror In The Towers. She said the local talent makes
the stale an ideal place for high-pressure projects
"A lot of people think of Portland as podunk
nowhere, they think they have to bring in their
crews and their actors, but we’ve got everything up
here." she said.
Ratzow is a former agent and assistant casting
direr tor who fled Los Angeles for a liettur quality
of life
Runkel said commercials were shot in Oregon for
years liefore the recent burst of feature films put a
spotlight on the film industry.
Kven more commercial producers have been
drawn to the Oregon locations by big-screen por
trayals of the state's spectacular scenery.
"Seeing Oregon images on the screen so often
from the past few years has fed the demand. The
Columbia Gorge and the (.oust, those images are
so dramatic." Runkel said.
Hut when Portland roaches what may lie its largest
national television audience May 26, viewers will
think it's New York.
Students defeat anti-gay proposal
HKKMKRTON, Wash (API —
()jx*iily gay teens ore welcome on
Bremerton High School's student
t ouncil after pupils Wednesday
rejected a proposer! amendment
to the school's constitution that
would have let studenLs oust their
homosexual |>eers from the elect
ed body.
The measure, which identified
homosexuality as an "immoral
liehavior" akin to index ent expo
sure and sexual harassment, was
voted down 635-475, said Prin
cipal Mari lee Hansen.
‘Tm delighted it's not going to
he added to the constitution."
Hansen said "But I'm a little tak
en aback by the number of stu
dents who have this (anti-gay)
feeling. We have a lot of educat
ing to do."
Hie pro|>osal was passed -t‘l-47
last week at the school's annual
constitutional convention, where
changes are made to school rules.
Supporters said it was merely
intended to prolong debate at the
convention, but it polarized the
student body and attracted
national attention.
The anti-gay measure would
have made it jxissible for students
discovered practicing "immoral
behavior" to be impeached from
elected office by their peers on
the council "in order to preserve
the integrity and high moral stan
dards that BUS is built upon."
Immoral behavior, according to
the amendment, includes sexual
harassment, indecent exposure,
sodomy and homosexuality
Hansen said it was unlikely the
rule would hat e ever gone into
effect, even if students passed it
Administrators tan override con
stitutional amendments and
seemed to be against this one, she
said
The two-hour debate that pre
ceded lust week's convention vote
was made spicier when a senior
stood up and told delegates that
he was gay.
"Someone in the meeting said,
'Nobody gay would ever stand
up and say they were gay
because they know it is wrong,'"
Todd McCauley. 19, told the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer "1 had
to speak up 1 told them what I
do in my bedroom is none of
their business. I'm here for an
education."
The final outcome Wednesday
followed a complicated, school
wide voting procedure that last
ed three days.
After the congressional vote
last week, the matter was sent to
home rooms on Monday Thirty
six home rooms rejected the pro
posal and IH supported it,
Hansen said
Apparently, a majority of stu
dents shared the opinion of stu
dent council president-elect J.J.
Hewitt. 17. who said he found the
proposal "disastrous" for the
school's image
