Explode into Colors Explodes in the Portland Art Museum
As we started to polish up the next episode of the Penny Jam (our ongoing video series), it occurred to me that we hadn’t posted the most recent episode, number 24 featuring Explode into Colors.

I was tipped of by my coworker Chris of a post over on Our PDX that mentions a new film, produced in Portland, called “Trucker Speed Hooligans.” It’s a fantastic coincidence as we too are located in Portland, and in the film game.
