Why your favorite Seattle movie probably wasn't filmed there

Seen any good local movies lately? Take “M3GAN” and “The Boys in the Boat” for example. Two very different movies, very popular, which are set in Seattle, but they were not filmed in Seattle. That happens a lot. In fact, the film industry is largely absent from Washington state.


So what can be done to get more local productions off the ground? Well, we’ve got a few film experts on the show today to dive into this issue.


Other events:


• SIFF Downtown screening of Train Dreams (https://www.siff.net/programs-and-eve...) - Oct 29th

• Seattle Film Critics Society PNW Awards (https://www.siff.net/programs-and-eve...) - Oct 29 - Nov 23
