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.

Behind the scenes of A Little Dark, filmed on location in Odessa, WA. While the cast and crew were all amazing to work with, I especially appreciated working alongside several strong female filmmakers including writer/director williamsh21 and DP haleylwatson, as well as lead actress lauren.ann.curtis
