Husband and wife duo Ben and Katie Sellon are two of those humans. Ben, a photographer, and Katie, a producer extraordinaire, are an incredible pair that have teamed up to make Portland an even better place to be a creative. The power couple has recently cut the ribbon on their latest project, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.halfcourtstudio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Half Court Studios<\/a>, a shared production space meant to bring together Portland\u2019s creative community and give life to projects that might have not been possible to make otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>Tucked in an old warehouse in Portland\u2019s Hollywood District, the space will soon be available for those with big dreams and a small budget &#8212; aspiring filmmakers dreaming up their first project, independent musicians who want to make music videos, photographers working on an experimental passion project. Both with backgrounds as agency producers, The Sellons will keep Half Court\u2019s engine running by hosting large-scale productions for commercial companies, allowing some wiggle room for low-budget and pro-bono projects. While it\u2019s not officially open for a couple of weeks, we had the chance to visit Half Court to scope out the space and, more importantly, make some sandwiches. Meet Ben and Katie Sellon.<\/p>\n<p><iframe data-src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k6d2nVgpeBw?wmode=opaque&amp;enablejsapi=1\" width=\"854\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"sqs-svg-icon--outer social-icon-alignment-center social-icons-color-black social-icons-size-large social-icons-shape-circle social-icons-style-border\">\n<nav class=\"sqs-svg-icon--list\">\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We may be biased, but we tend to think some of the most amazing, creative&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[36,3773,6],"tags":[3763],"class_list":["post-2917","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-community","category-interviews-highlights","category-marmoset","tag-marmoset-videos","has-excerpt"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2917","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2917"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2917\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2917"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
