The city has now green-lit the new Seattle Film Commission – a panel meant to serve as a conduit between the Emerald City and the silver screen.
The next time your favorite movie or TV show is set in Seattle, it might actually have been filmed on location. That’s the hope of the city now that it’s green-lit the new Seattle Film Commission – a panel meant to serve as a conduit between the Emerald City and the silver screen.
“Other cities have a lot of incentives. But really, it’s not about the money, it’s about the knowledge. We need industry experts in Seattle to help us frame policies that will allow us to retain the jobs in film here. I’m talking about living wage jobs, and that’s why labor is so fiercely supportive of this effort,” she explained.
“We formed a task force, and they produced a report that said a film commission was their top priority. So part of what I’m doing is just what they say and finally building on the momentum that we’ve got at the state and the county,” Nelson said, referring to the $15 million in State Film incentives passed by the Legislature this year and King County’s opening of Harbor Island studios.at the former Fisher Flour Mill.
