MOVIEMAKER
This month MovieMaker Magazine named Seattle #4 on their “2012 Top Ten Cities to be a Movie Maker.”  The list is based on criteria including tax incentives, local and experienced cast and crew, and production support.  Seattle writer-director Lynn Shelton (Humpday) commends the local film community which she believes “is a nurturing, inclusive and vibrant one, filled with folks who have a genuine passion for making movies.”  The Washington State Motion Picture Competitiveness Program and Seattle’s streamlined, customer service-based, production-friendly, film permit process were cited as reasons for placing Seattle at #4.
