“We love to bring projects, like Adult Swim/Cartoon Network’s M.O.P.Z., to Washington to work with our talented local crew and share with them all that the state has to offer. It’s great that these kinds of projects get national distribution and we are so pleased that M.O.P.Z. brought director Todd Rohal back to the state for another production.”

– Lacey Leavitt, Executive Producer, M.O.P.Z.

District 34: Island Life

“It was such fun having the producers of Island Life come to the Vashon Farmers Market. They deftly negotiated a busy market day full of customers, vendors and live music while putting together the shots they needed. I was impressed with both their technical skills and their adaptability to the constantly changing situation. For weeks after customers and vendors would comment on the experience and every one enjoyed seeing the episode when it was finished. What a gem for our small community. Thank you to Washington Film Works for helping make this happen.”

“What’s easy to forgot is that a script can be made anywhere in the world. While locations are important, the availability of funding through Washington Filmworks is really what helped seal the deal. You add in an amazing and passionate local crew and I couldn’t have found a better home for my directional debut.”

District 36: Glad Force Flex Spot

As a long time Washington location professional, I have seen the role that the film industry plays in the stimulating the economy of Washington communities. I have seen money spent in car rental agencies, restaurants, hotels and many other businesses in the state. Washington Filmworks plays a very important role to ensure they are up to date with the latest production resources that can help bring production to the state.

“Thanks to Washington Filmworks we were able to return to Washington to work on the eastern side of the state. We found arid Southwestern looks within miles of Spokane and were able to work with the professional Washington crew members we enjoyed working with a couple of years before.”

District 3: Z Nation

“By bringing Z Nation to Washington, we’ve discovered a stunningly beautiful and varied landscape which can double for just about anywhere in the world. We were also pleased to find a hard working culture of incredibly dynamic and talented locals. The incentive program is not a ‘hollywood handout,’ rather it’s an investment into the local community. The reach of production dollars goes far beyond our local cast and crew. We shop locally. We buy materials from local suppliers and use local services. From auto repair to beauty supplies; building supplies and props; groceries and rent; most of our budget goes right into the local Washington economy.”

– Steve Graham and Jodi Binstock, producers of Z Nation
