How One Catering Company Grew With The Film Incentive
Imagine If WA’s Incentive Program Was 3x Bigger…
We’ve seen the transformative effect film has had on Spokane businesses in videos from The Spokane Film Project that document the experiences of places like Stella’s Cafe or Diversify Truck and Equipment Repair.
Now imagine how businesses would be impacted if Washington had an incentive fund that was three times its current size. Watch the above video to see how Javier Baltazar, owner of Mundo Catering, experienced business growth as a result of the state film incentive growing. What comes at the end may surprise you.
