“They're doing the legwork and advance preparation needed...when a movie company comes...says, 'I'm looking for a tidy, little community that typifies small-town America. It's got to have friendly folks and colorful local characters as well as rolling hills and beautiful, lush woods. And a great nearby outlet mall would be good, too.' "

 Michigan's film incentives have made this state the number 1 best place to make movies. Since April 7, 2008, moviemakers have arrived here to make films. Over $250 million dollars is projected to be spent on filmmaking in Michigan before the end of the year.
How do you get involved as a business or community that wants to participate in this new economy? And how do you find out what kinds of services filmmakers expect and need? How do you deliver them?
Film Friendly Michigan educates and informs communities throughout the State of Michigan about how to attract and effectively work with commercial and feature film companies.
Our course serves municipalities, economic development agencies (including convention bureaus and chambers of commerce) and individual businesses with the information that will allow them to maximize opportunities "When Hollywood Comes to Town." |
