POSITIVE RESPONSE TO THE BUSINESS LETTER OF SUPPORT

Before the Ways and Means hearing on Wednesday, we had signatures from 150 businesses on the business letter of support which you can find here.

The business letter of support received strong and compelling feedback at the Senate Ways and Means Committee hearing on Wednesday. Since this letter has proven to be a powerful tool, we are continuing our effort to secure additional businesses to sign onto the letter. Our goal is to have 300 signatures.

If you have not already signed on, and you own a business, work with a business as a cast or crew person, or know of a business that has been positively impacted by the film industry, please reach out and ask them to sign on to this very important letter.

All businesses interested in adding their name should email Executive Director Amy Lillard at Amy@WashingtonFilmworks.org. Please note: because of the volume of support thus far, we are only listing the business names (rather than individual names or logos).

Thank you for your continued support and let’s KEEP FILM IN WA!
