Presented by Oregon Parks Forever!


A Special Documentary Screening & Conversation with the Filmmaker.
Join us for an unforgettable evening as we celebrate “America’s best idea” - our National Parks - and the 30th Anniversary of Oregon Parks Forever, with an exclusive screening of the award-winning documentary, Out There: A National Parks Story. A discussion with the filmmaker will follow.
Director & Cinematographer Brendan Hall and a childhood friend will take you on a breathtaking 10,000-mile journey through the heart of 15 of America’s national parks, capturing the landscapes, the people, and the powerful stories that define these treasured places.
What began as a quest to capture awe-inspiring landscapes evolves into a heartfelt exploration of the humans within them.
This visually stunning film is more than just a scenic road trip—it's a profound exploration of connection, conservation, and the human spirit. From park rangers and conservationists to adventurers and dreamers, experience firsthand how these spaces inspire, heal, and transform lives.
Out There connects audiences to all public lands, which in turn connects people to organizations like Oregon Parks Forever who work to preserve the natural world and enhance and preserve the experience of visiting them.
