FILMguerrero is an independent record label based in Portland, Oregon. It was founded in 1998 by John Askew as a way to release Ames, the debut album by Askew's studio project Tracker (band). Since then, the label (also known as "Film G"[1], or simply "Fg"[2]) has gone on to release CDs, LPs and EPs by a number of different artists[3]. Askew describes the label as "a collective" or, "...an artist-run label, to make sure that the bands get a fair deal and a good representation of what their overall vision is"[4].
