LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

Plans are evolving in our efforts to renew the Motion Picture Competitiveness Program. We continue to work with our supporters in Olympia to include the program in a jobs bill, which the legislature would consider during the November Special Session. We encourage you to write your elected officials and urge them to include the program renewal in this bill. If you don’t know who your legislators are you can find out by following this link:

Please save the date for Washington Filmworks’ Annual Industry Updates to be held the first week of December in both Seattle and Spokane. Join us as we celebrate the successes of 2011 and talk in detail about how you can help get the Motion Picture Competitiveness Program renewed during the upcoming legislative session. Wine and appetizers will be served.
