Council committee confirms three appointments to Seattle Film Commission
Summary
Council committee confirmed Lawrence Alexander III (Lex Scope), Davis Powell and Katie Hall to the Seattle Film Commission; appointees described plans to support industry growth, workforce pathways and underrepresented creators.
The Governance, Accountability and Economic Development Committee on May 8 moved and recommended confirmation of three mayoral council appointments to the Seattle Film Commission for terms through April 23, 2028.
Appointments and rationale: The committee confirmed (by roll call) Lawrence Alexander III (Lex Scope) to represent film festivals and content distribution; Davis Powell to represent film industry labor unions (SAG‑AFTRA local executive director); and Katie Hall to represent film schools and educators. Davis Powell said he has served in union representation roles in the Pacific Northwest and described ties to SAG‑AFTRA, Teamsters and other entertainment unions. Katie Hall described nonprofit work training and supporting young women in media and her roles with NATAS Northwest and other scholarship programs. Lawrence Alexander emphasized bringing underrepresented storytellers into production pipelines.
Vote and next steps: The committee moved and seconded the confirmations and a roll call produced five votes in favor; the committee chair congratulated the appointees and noted the confirmations will be considered next by full council on the stated schedule.
