WASHINGTON FILMWORKS 
Last week, the bill to renew the Motion Picture Competitiveness Program moved from the Senate to the House. Yesterday, the bill (also known as SB 5539) was voted out of the House Committee on Community and Economic Development and Housing with a winning vote of 8 to 1. The bill is now on the way to the House Ways and Means Committee, where funding was cut last year. Washington Filmworks has published an easy-to-follow online resource, where constituents can easily “send a letter with three clicks of the mouse.” Help support the Washington film industry by contacting a committee member today.

Washington Filmworks
As the fight to renew the state’s Motion Picture Competitiveness Program wages on in Olympia, Washington Filmworks is rallying the film industry troops in support of SB 5539, the Senate bill that would renew the incentive program. SB 5539 made it through the Senate Ways and Means committee last week and has now been referred to the Rules Committee; Filmworks expects that it will pass through this new committee shortly and will be put to a full vote on the Senate floor as early as next week. In this crucial time, Filmworks is encouraging film professionals statewide to write their Senators and personally advocate for the bill by sharing how the incentive program benefits their lives and livelihoods.
