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.
Information about the state film industry and the MPCP.

Table read! What a joy to team up with such amazing actors and 4 other screenwriters to read 5 short screenplays. It was a big success and very energizing and inspiring. Thanks to all who participated as actors, writers, and those who came to watch.

And that’s a wrap on what I believe is the 8th seattle48hfp I’ve been a part of. This time I ran B-Cam for _t.guy and did Color in post. It was nice to have some sleep this go around. Fun script, great cast and crew, overall a blast on set. Excited to see the film up on the big screen!
