Please join us for this very special year-in-review presentation detailing the 2014 industry strides of Washington Filmworks.

We will preview our Legislative Awareness Campaign and look ahead to the 2015 Legislative Session starting January 12. 

We hope to see you at one of the above events and join us in capping off another great year for the business of film and the statewide film industry! 

KNOW YOUR LEGISLATOR, KNOW YOUR DISTRICT

 

At both of our Town Hall events, Executive Director Amy Lillard issued a call to action asking the film community to update Washington Filmworks with their legislative district information. 

 

In 2012, the Washington State Redistricting Commission drew new boundaries for legislative districts. It's quite possible that your legislative district has changed. Please take a moment and identify your legislative district and let us know your district number so that we can keep you updated about your legislator's support (or not) of Washington's statewide film industry. 

 

Our goal is to identify film industry professionals in every district of Washington State. Know your legislator, know your district, and make sure that your voice is heard! Please use the Washington State Legislature Finder to find your legislative district. 

 

Then, please fill out this survey to let us know your district so that you can get represented and your voice heard. 

 

Stay tuned for our Legislative Awareness Campaign launching soon that will keep you in the know about significant legislative updates and ways that you can be involved.
