Have you heard the news? We’re teaming up with @pdxpanorama for a membership drive this month! 🎬

Sign up for a yearly membership before March 31 and you’ll receive two tickets to a screening at the film festival of the year: Portland Panorama.

Joining the OMPA is one of the best ways to make sure your voice is heard in the halls of our state capitol. We advocate for media professionals across Oregon - working to increase film and production tax incentives, support policies that protect our industry, and create conditions that help it grow.

The times they are a-changin, and now more than ever it matters to unite under a collective voice. There’s strength in numbers. As we navigate the ups and downs of our industry together, the OMPA aims to make that work feel less like an obligation and more like community building.

The organization has evolved a lot over the past five years. At times it feels like we’re rising from the ashes of who we once were, but one thing has never changed: we exist to amplify and protect the needs of this community.

We love offering perks and resources, and growing our membership helps us do more of that. But even beyond the discounts or exclusive opportunities, the real impact is the work happening behind the scenes. Your membership gives us the resources to create change, not just react to it.

Curious to learn more? Feel free to DM us or email info@ompa.org

We’d love to hear from you.

Join us on March 10th at 6PM PST for a special COCO Virtual Screening featuring two haunting and visually captivating short films by Director Anchitta Noowong, followed by a live Q&A conversation with the filmmaker.

The evening will include:

Mother – Inspired by Thai folklore, this gripping story follows a husband who returns home from deployment to his wife and infant child—unaware that something is not as it seems.

Mirror, Mirror – Drawing from an Asian superstition about mirrors and the soul, this psychological thriller follows a young woman whose work trip takes a chilling turn when she finds herself trapped inside a sparse hotel room with no clear escape.

Rooted in cultural mythology and psychological suspense, both films explore themes of love, loss, fear, and perception in deeply atmospheric ways.

After the screenings, stay for a live Q&A with Director Anchitta Noowong as we discuss inspiration, cultural storytelling, genre filmmaking, and the creative process.

Anchitta is an internationally traveled filmmaker who started in Thailand, making her way to Australia, and finally to Portland, Oregon, although she's also worked in Japan. Anchitta's biggest influence in life is her mother, which motivates her to tell stories about the female experience as well as uplift the voices of BIPOC communities, especially Asian Americans. Anchitta completed her BA in Film at Portland State University in 2019 with a minor in Business. She currently works as a Director of Post Production at Bridge City Media and a freelance UGC creator.

Whether you're a filmmaker, storyteller, or lover of suspenseful cinema, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

Reserve your spot and join us virtually!
