The gist

The Motion Collective is an entity based out of Portland, Oregon, dedicated to the pursuit and transmission of film images, icons, and impressions. We have made various short films, most recently the carbon-infusion drama The Carbon Augury, but are also available in other fields such as project cinematography, scriptwriting and editing. For all inquires on The Motion Collective process and product, please email themotioncollective@gmail.com, or barring that, investigate a few of the links below for our associates.

Sub Rosa

The latest project of the Motion Collective, Sub Rosa, is taking shape this month with a planned shooting schedule of eight days in June. The film, a 16 min. short, is the story of Laurel, a middle-aged woman who becomes obsessed with the idea of rescuing a young girl from her father, who may be a criminal. The producer on this project is Leopoldo Marino, and he will be responding to most preliminary cast and crew issues as the film takes shape. For additional information, please write to leopoldo@subrosafilm.com or call 503.805.0069.

The Carbon Augury

The earth steals his carbon, but prescient to his perdition, he foresees a lengthy half-life, which includes the proper inhalation of ancient ecologies.
