WHY FILM IS IMPORTANT: HAND CRANK FILMS

Bellingham Production Company Tells Their Story

For the first time in its history, Washington Filmworks has commissioned some of our most gifted production companies and storytellers to visually depict our collective story. Our goal is to tell personal, intimate stories about why film is important in Washington State. We want to put a face on film, introducing industry professionals and businesses that help make Washington State a vibrant and interesting place to live.

When people think of motion picture production, they often imagine the finished project – but how was it made? Hand Crank Films, a Bellingham production company, tells the story behind the story. Who adjusts the lighting? Who focuses the camera lens? Who starts the action? Take a look at the team effort behind production, and how production crews are an integral part of both the filmmaking community and the larger creative economy. 

You can watch the video here. We thank Hand Crank Films for producing this insightful piece.
