EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon screenwriter is planning a museum in Eugene dedicated to movies filmed in the state.

Katherine Wilson is also a longtime movie location scout and a casting director.

She wants to use a 2,500-square-foot space in downtown Eugene to create the Oregon Film Factory Movie Museum.

Wilson signed a letter of intent this week with a Eugene commercial real estate broker. But she needs about $270,000 to create a museum that would celebrate classics such as “Animal House” and “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.”

The Register-Guard reports that Wilson has the support of the Governor’s Office of Film & Television in Portland, and others.
