Mayor Sam Adams added to his collection of original portraits of Portland filmmakers last week, unveiling a brand new painting of Todd Haynes by Jasper Marks.
City Hall custodians grumbled about the amount of work they face – Portland’s active film scene means the entire wall will soon be filled. The Mayor did not announce whether Marks, who moonlights in another profession under the name Steven Cohn, would be asked to paint the entire series. Some people believe Arnold Pander may be approached to help out.
Here are the names of some of the directors who, taken in conglomerate, represent Portland’s cinematic wealth:
Aaron Katz
Brian Lindstrom
Chel White
David Weissman
Donal Mosher
Gus Van Sant
Irene Taylor Brodsky
Jacob & Arnold Pander
James Westby
Jim Blashfield
Joan Gratz
Joanna Priestley
Lance Bangs
Larry Johnson
Marilyn Zornado
Matt McCormick
Michael Palmieri
Mike Shiley
Peter D. Richardson
Rose Bond
Sue Arbuthnot
Vanessa Renwick
Will Vinton
It is because Sam Adams is only Mayor of Portland, and not Governor of the State of Oregon that the following filmmakers will escape inclusion on his Hall of Fame:
Alex Cox
Bruce Campbell
Bill Plympton
Chris Eyre
Matthew Lessner
James Ivory
James Longley
Shelley Jordon
Susan Saladoff
