In order for the 1,000s of small businesses that make up our industry to have a voice in Olympia, we need to unite our voices. Every extra, actor, agent, casting director, grip, electrician, producer, director, makeup, wardrobe, etc. must join the team and do their part.
WashingtonFilmWorks is the leader of our cause to keep and increase the film incentive offered by the State of Washington. They will direct us. They put out regular notifications asking people to get involved. Mostly, simple tasks like emailing your legislator. They even offer instructions for those who are unfamiliar with the process.
