About
The Washington State Legislature created the Production Incentive Program (also referred to as the Motion Picture Competitiveness Program) in 2006 to attract and retain film industry investment in Washington. The legislature passed ESHB 1914 during the 2022 legislative session which allows the Production Incentive Program to allocate up to $3M annually to support Washington resident filmmakers through the Small Budget Production Initiative (SBPI). Washington Filmworks (WF) is the private non-profit organization that manages the Production Incentive Program as well as a variety of resources for the creative industries in Washington State. WF’s mission is to create economic development opportunities by building and enhancing the competitiveness, profile and sustainability of Washington State’s film industry.
