WHAT IS KEEP FILM IN WA?
Keep Film in WA is a grassroots advocacy campaign powered by creative professionals across Washington State.
The goal is to communicate how vital the film industry is to Washington State and how the Washington Filmworks Motion Picture Competitiveness Program (MPCP) builds a strong and robust creative economy.
Since launching the MPCP in 2007, over 24,800 jobs have been created for Washingtonians and approved film projects have brought in an estimated $162 million of direct in-state spending.

2023 Opening Night at seattlelatinoff (Seattle Latino Film Festival) for christiandelacortina film, UNDOCUMENTED. So grateful for this community of people, who have supported me since the beginning of my film career as a director. There’s a number of people missing in this post but you know who you are. Thank you for your belief in me and reminding me that I have wings to soar. Friends are the family you get to pick. Gracias mi familia, ABRAZOS MUCHO‼️🩷
