Provide in-state jobs for Oregon-educated students.
Oregon educates students in high school and college in skills for film, video, and other careers that tie directly to the film and video industry. By the very nature of career differences within populations, the state will always have a certain proportion of students that grow up with an intense interest and innate skills in film and video production. If the state lacks a sufficient base of firms in the industry, graduates will migrate out of Oregon, leaving the state effectively having paid for the educations of workers whose careers will be in California, New York, and other states. Supporting film and video production in Oregon helps the state attain better job diversity and reduces the loss of skilled workers to other places. Digital Force, Inc. is here to support and sustain the local job force.

Economic development of tangential businesses.
In a related benefit, many of the skills used in the film and video sector are transferable to other sectors. By retaining skilled workers, it allows other, tangentially related sectors to develop by providing a pool of trained and interested employees. Examples include computer animation, software design and engineering, website development, music, motion graphics, advertising, and marketing. |
