EDCO’s Central Oregon PubTalk is a happy hour aimed at bringing together different facets of the business community in one place to network, share ideas and further local businesses.
Keynote Speaker
Samuel Pyke, Founder, Owner, Producer, Cinematographer Hill Shadow Pictures
“Every moment can be captured in the right light…”
Growing up in Sisters, Samuel Pyke was drawn to telling stories, specifically in the visual medium. He began to recognize the importance of composition and other characteristics that would draw people into his work. He’s created incredible work for companies including Realtree, Camp Chef, Smith & Wesson, Discovery Studios, and many more. He’ll discuss the expectations of his clientele, how he works to make their different visions a reality, and how he’s been able to live and thrive professionally in a smaller community.
Company Pitch
Josie Johnson, CEO & Founder, Josie’s Best Gluten Free Mixes
Josie’s Best produces gluten free baking mixes that provide classic tastes and textures leaving people in disbelief that what they are eating is gluten free. Their mission is to provide products that are not “good for gluten free” but great overall products. Their lineup includes a gluten free pancake mix, GF waffle mix, GF crepe mix, and GF all-purpose flour, providing both retail and food service sizes and options.
