Sararosa Davies sits down with University of Oregon Cinema Studies professor Steve Rust and the "Godmother of Oregon Film," Katherine Wilson, to discuss the history of Oregon films, the state's cinematic voice, and Wilson's new book, 'Echoes From the Set.' Wilson earned her nickname for her dedication to and work on many notable Oregon movies including 'Animal House,' 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,' and 'Stand By Me.' She discusses her life and work in her book, but here she and Steve talk about the current Northwest films that are carrying on the state's film legacy, and those that shaped it.
