ZOMBIES INVADE OLYMPIA

Watch Von Piglet Productions’ Film Day Video

 

Film Day on March 17 in Olympia was a huge success and was critical to keeping SB 6027, the bill to increase funding for the Motion Picture Competitiveness Program, in play.

With more than 300 film industry professionals in attendance, 90 meetings with legislators, and an apocalyptic set built and staged by cast, crew, and business owners from both sides of the state, the advocacy day left an indelible memory for everyone involved.

Film Day was a collective effort but Washington Filmworks wanted to extend a special thank you to Sue Corcoran from Von Piglet Productions and producer Fon Chen Williams and production coordinator Jennifer Orrestad. They assembled a talented cast and crew to bring to life a production on the Capitol Campus. This brought a face to film for legislators and exemplified the impact and scope of what we can do as a film industry and community.

You can watch the final film here.

Thank you to all who came to lobby and the cast and crew (credited below) for their hard work.

Special thanks to Steve Graham and Jodi Binstock of Go 2 Z, LLC, as well as The Asylum and the Syfy Channel.
