Recent projects filming in Oregon

Looking to immerse yourself in some local scenery this weekend? Here are a few recent movies filmed in Portland and throughout the state.

Little Wing (2024, PG-13)

Premise: Follows a 13-year-old girl who is dragged into the world of pigeon racing as she deals with her parents' divorce and the impending loss of her home.

Filmed in Portland, Downtown, SE, Hawthorne Bridge, Estacada Middle School

As I was writing this, Kristi Turnquist at OregonLive who has chronicled the filming scene in Portland for years, published a great article about the movie, which was released today.

Where to watch: Paramount Plus (and channel on Prime Video)

The Rental (2022, R)

Finally, not yet released, but with a unique plot and featuring Dylan O'Brien from Taylor Swift's Grammy Award-winning short film, All Too Well:

Leverage on Location

Leverage is back in Portland now filming Season 5. According to OregonLive:

"This will be the first season the series is actually based in Portland, instead of filming here and pretending area locations are Boston, and other farflung spots."

Leverage filming - June 2011 - South Waterfront

Filming last summer in the South Waterfront - June 2011

Some recent filming took place at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville, home of the Spruce Goose.
