On Thursday evening Feb. 18, the Virginia Production Alliance held its annual State of the Industry gathering at WCVE TV in Richmond, Virginia. More than 200 film industry professionals and supporters gathered to talk with exhibitors and celebrate film and TV in Virginia. Virginia’s Film Office Director Andy Edmunds addressed the crowd, reporting on the current climate of the industry, specifically the wide variety of opportunities that exist in the state, and to thank the VPA for its activism. The Washington-Mid Atlantic Local is a proud member of the VPA and was pleased to be among the exhibitors at this annual event. Members of your local staff handed out information on the benefits and mechanics of membership to pre-members as well as information on our contracts, particularly the low budget film and new media contracts, to local filmmakers. Special thanks to the many SAG-AFTRA members in attendance who introduced staff to performers interested in joining the union and to filmmakers for whom our members would like to work.
