Song of Sunset ™

Pledge to Support - Episode 2

A project that celebrates small stages by pairing a film screening with live songwriter circles, giving audiences the rare chance to hear the same voices they’ve just seen on screen. Each event becomes an immersive cultural experience where cinema and live performance merge—inviting the audience to step inside the story being preserved.

Founder and Director Brian Craig Hinderberger envisions building a cinematic time capsule of Oregon’s music culture, honoring the songwriters and the spaces that sustain them while inspiring new connections between film, music, and community.

where cinema and live music meet — Look for the next Song of Sunset event and be part of Oregon’s songwriting story.

Now, he’s exploring the scene through a different medium: Film.
