Seattle Named 7th Best Place to Live, Work, and Make Movies

In January, MovieMaker Magazine assembled its Top 10 Movie Cities of 2008, ranking Seattle seventh in the magazine’s annual countdown. Aspects that determined a city’s ranking included availability of production facilities, educational opportunities, networking events, film festivals, screening venues, as well as quality of local talent pool.
