A new Oregon Film Trail sign has been installed in Oregon City, honoring the town’s starring role as a location in the popular teen drama, Twilight. It sits along the McLoughlin Promenade, overlooking the former Blue Heron paper mill where scenes from the iconic vampire movie were shot. The Mill has also been featured in The Hunted and Grimm. The Works Progress Administration-era Promenade has itself been featured in scenes from The Librarians and Trinkets.
The current pandemic situation didn’t allow for a large public dedication but instead, City officials and local tourism advocates attended a photo opportunity with the sign at the dedication. Oregon Film was there to help celebrate and welcome the 27th sign to the Oregon Film Trail.

“It s the most surreal thing. There s this moment where you re sitting around a fire with an elf, a human wearing armor and a guy in Ranger-looking clothing and you re like, ‘This is the coolest thing in the world,’ ” actor David Mort said.
Alongside acting, Mort directed the coming “Gates of Avalore,” with the script written by wife Angele Mort and Will Brack. The director of photography, Damian Byington, shot over two days in March in Cottage Grove. With an early June release date, the 12-minute film captures the campfire squad coming in to save the day from an undead horde. Mort hopes this will be the opening scene for a feature-length film.
