If you haven't had a chance to make it to one of our monthly events then tomorrow is your chance!

Join us Wednesday, 3/25, from 6-9pm for another evening of relaxed, creative networking with Portland’s film and media community.

Our monthly gathering series continues on the last Wednesday of every month throughout 2026, bringing together filmmakers, producers, editors, crew members, and creative enthusiasts for casual meetups around the city. Each month we choose a new Portland venue, creating space for fresh conversations, unexpected collaborations, and stronger connections across our creative network.

For March, we’re taking over Rontoms, a longtime Portland favorite known for its lively vibe, expansive patio, and music-filled atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to wind down midweek, meet new people, and talk shop with others working in film, media, and the arts. Grab a drink, introduce yourself to someone new, and see where the conversation leads.

Whether you’re deep in the industry or simply passionate about storytelling and creative work, these nights are designed to bring people together and strengthen Portland’s creative community.

Have a great venue suggestion or interested in sponsoring a future gathering? We’d love to hear from you. Send ideas to director@ompa.org.

Mark your calendar and come connect with fellow creatives — we’ll see you at Rontoms.

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.
