Washington Filmworks works closely with each production in an effort to expedite the funding assistance process and reduce associated costs to the production.
In order to recognize the accountability and effectiveness of tax policy, the legislature requires that each production that obtains Washington Filmworks (WF) funding assistance complete and submit a Department of Commerce Production Survey at the completion of the WF Completion Package review process.
