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.

That’s a wrap on Tapestry Brewing! 🎥🍺🎬
Pulling off a film is a massive effort. Couldn’t have dreamed of a better team to guide me through it. Thank you all. We spent 2 days filming in an operational brewery and one day filming exteriors on location in Kitsap County, capturing the fictional town of Port Lansing.
Hooray! More photos soon as we move through post production. 🤗

Northwest Film Forum received funding in Round 1 of the Washington Filmworks FWD Funding Initiative to support the Seattle-based ACTION! Narrative Apprentice Program, which focuses on providing training to emerging filmmakers identifying as BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, and/or living with disabilities. With the support of mentors, participants gained hands-on experience in the creation of a short film which will premiere at the upcoming Local Sightings Film Festival.

🎬 We love sharing Small Budget Production Initiative success stories! “Branches” came in conditionally approved, and became certified after getting fully funded. We had a great time visiting the set on Whidbey Island!
“Branches” follows the story of Quinn, who finds herself back home in the aftermath of a leg amputation due to cancer. A series of unsettling meetings lead Quinn to make sense of her loss and find healing.

🎬Fun night seeing “…best served cold” on the big screen at the Shoreline Short Film Festival. It is always humbling watching myself perform; I never quite get comfortable with it. I am grateful my parents and aunt were there to support me and to vancooper for believing in me. 💚
