Our vision

To promote professional Western Australian film and television crew to the screen industry.

We are committed to assist in lobbying government and private enterprise for suitable film industry infrastructure, for now and the future. We support the promotion of WA as a filming location and provide information about the Professional Film Crew of Western Australia members.

We seek to encourage our membership to continually achieve the highest level of professional standards through the provision of information, networking opportunities and further training.

We endeavour to provide a strong sense of community for our members through ongoing communication, support and social activity.
