Music Video Month presents “Winter Sessions” at Lovely Rita in The Hoxton this January and February. Live music and curated experiences brought to you by Vision Studios and Black Bulb Magazine heating up the winter months with specialty cocktails from Dregs Vodka and a killer lineup on Wednesdays from 5pm to 7pm.

1/31/24 - Onry with opening DJ set by Laylow
2/7/24 - Rain Ezra opening for Neboo with Northern Draw on the decks

A part of MusicOregon’s Music Video Month, with support from Oregon Film and Barefoot sound, this is the mid-week energy you don’t wanna miss!

The need to support Portland’s film production and media industry is paramount. Portland is often a sought-after location for commercial shoots because of its proximity to Los Angeles, its quick access to coastal and forest terrain, and its streamlined permitting systems.

The film production and media industry has brought almost  $700 million into the local economy over the past five years and further solidified Portland’s reputation as one of the top locations to produce movies, TV shows, and commercials.

“I’m grateful the City recognizes the value of our local film industry and is taking steps to support us in a very challenging year,” said Mike Neal, local film worker and co-chair of the Oregon Media Production Association’s advocacy committee. “Commercials and other short-form productions have helped keep our crews and local businesses afloat during the ongoing strikes in Hollywood. The City’s resolution to subsidize permit fees for commercial shoots will help local producers while also boosting Portland’s image as a film-friendly city and commercial production hub.”

This announcement was made possible through the collaborative efforts of Commissioners Rubio and Ryan, the Oregon Media Production Association, Oregon Film, and the Portland Events and Film Office at Prosper Portland. @oregonfilm
