Film productions have been streaming
into Michigan since incentive legislation that passed in April made our
state Hollywood’s new “it” locale. The sheer logistics of bringing
together cast, crew, and support services can be daunting, but there is
a splendid resource to help filmmakers share their vision with
audiences. “More than a comprehensive directory of Michigan-based
production resources,” The Producer’s Guide to Michigan — the creation of industry veterans Peter Mertz and Nick Johnston — offers an array of tools and advice on how and where to find the best sound stages & studios, extras, and more.
Given the seemingly endless reports
of bad economic news around the country and around our state, it’s a
distinct pleasure to spotlight this job-driving guide as the Arresting
Site of the Month for October. Grab a camera and get rolling.
Note: Nominations for November are
due on Monday, October 27, and I’ll announce the winner on Monday,
November 3. Thanks once again for your interest and your participation.
