Koerner Camera is the premier digital cinema camera rental house in Portland serving the television, commercial and filmmaking production throughout the Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Media Production Association is the trade association that connects, advocates for and advances media production professionals across the state. They are collectively opening their space to showcase the work that is being created by OMPA’s members, to introduce the place where top productions rent their gear, to show off a space that was renovated last year by FIELDWORK DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE, LLC and open a show of the work of local photographer, Eric Macey. Come on by. You’ll have a good time with this diverse, talented, good natured crowd.
