The landmark bill that passed during the 2022 legislative session allows Washington Filmworks to allocate up to $3M a year to better support emerging Washington filmmakers making projects under $1M. Our team has been working with filmmakers Lacey Leavitt and Netsanet Tjirongo on designing the new program and we are hitting the road to talk to filmmakers in communities across the state to get feedback and insight about how we can make this new program the best it can be!
