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.

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.

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. 🤗

🎬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. 💚
