Filmmaking in the Klamath Basin

There’s a bright future for the Klamath Basin as the scenic backdrop for feature films, says Klamath Film Executive Director Kurt Liedtke. Most recently, Klamath Falls served as the setting for the 2019 independent comedy Phoenix, Oregon – which, through an odd strike of luck, became the #1 box office release in America in March 2020. Discuss the history and future of filmmaking in our area in an online conversation on Wednesday, March 17th at 2pm.
