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.

What a magical day at the capital! I have so much love and appreciation for wafilmworks who have been working for years to get our #FilmInWA incentive raised! We are now about to hit 15 million!
♥️💥
davidshogan and I had a blast getting dressed up for Glamour and Gore Film Day to thank our legislators and employees at the Capital. Over 200 people attended, got to pose on the red carpet, get their glam and gore makeup done by the FABULOUS makeupbyakemi and lucelovesfaces. These ladies brought our looks to life as well, alongside the magical rjlmn4, who dressed us in only the best 🔥 vickyberglunddavenport Amy Lillard and the #WAFilmWorks team are making things happen 🎥💥
Then David and I went to mightytripod and taught our students in Crystals and Blood 🎭
