The film community packed the house for our Seattle Annual Industry Update.

Big thanks to our awesome statewide film community, who was out in full force at our Seattle Two-Part Party last night. Amy Lillard, Washington Filmworks Executive Director, delivered our Annual Industry Update from the set of  Avenue Q at Balagan Theater in Capitol Hill. Plus Washington Filmworks finally got to reveal the projects that received funding assistance from the inaugural cycle of the Filmworks Innovation Lab! Find out more about the Innovation Lab in the official press release.

The celebration continued into the night and the crowd was treated to some super fly tunes from Fly Moon Royalty. Special thanks to Vince Miller of Seasonal Goods Catering for the yummy food, to Barboza for hosting the after party, and to Philip Eichner for all the great photos from the evening.

Plus a huge thanks to the Washington film community for bringing the good times!
