OLYMPIA — State lawmakers are again seeking to renew a $3.5 million program to encourage the film industry to make movies in Washington.
But they’ve added another sweetener this time around — an additional $3 million aimed at luring production of the feature film based on the best-selling book “The Boys in the Boat” to the state.
The legislation says the additional money would go to a major motion picture with a budget of at least $20 million that portrays a significant event in Washington during the 20th century.
Supporters of the bill say the legislation could benefit many films.
