Four years ago, Jeff Milkes, Portland Parks & Recreation Outer Southeast Director approached me with an outstanding idea to bring neighbors together in a positive environment. Little did we know it would take on a life of it’s own. The program has grown from 13 movies the first year to approaching 50 movies in a festival atmosphere this summer alone. Home Run Graphics has been the charter sponsor for the “Big screen on the Green” movies in the park project in partnership with Portland Parks and Recreation since that original conversation.
As of July 1st, the Portland movies in the park project has become the largest free movies in the park project in the UNITED STATES of AMERICA !! Together we are building awareness and strengthening our neighborhoods through family fun entertainment. The electricity of people connecting and children laughing and playing has given a new life to many neighborhood associations and neighborhood watch programs. In addition, the incredible success of this program has drawn larger corporate sponsors to the table. These generous sponsors have assisted in enabling Commissioner Nick Fish to institute the “Summer FREE for ALL” project offering free lunches and activities programs for children throughout the greater Portland area.
For more information about movie times and locations or sponsorship please go to the Portland Parks and Recreation website or click here.
Together we can make a difference.

East Portland entrepreneurial pioneers and land developers of the early 1900′s realized the survival in the outskirts of “Stumptown” meant backbreaking hard labor, “out of the box” thinking (although they probably never used that term) and social networking skills without the use of texting or Iphones. And yes, today, in our East Portland neighborhoods [...]
