Husband-and-wife filmmakers Matt Cascella and Jennifer Cordery moved to Portland from New York City a couple years ago and immediately felt inspired.

“When we moved here, we were really burnt out on New York. Creating your own work there is so challenging, there’s so much competition and so many hurdles,” said Cordery, 40. “But here, we’ve met such wonderful people and we both had such a jolt of creative inspiration.”
