Questions and Answers
How can I list my home or myself with the Michigan Film Office?
Does Michigan offer any incentives to film there?
See the Incentive Info page.
Where's the film crew?
The lion's share of the crew is in Southeastern Michigan, or metropolitan Detroit (approximately 2-3 features deep). You can also find a good crew base in Grand Rapids, Lansing, Kalamazoo, and Traverse City.
Detroit-tell me about it.
It's an industrial city with a wonderful riverfront location, a very progressive mayor and literally daily improvements in both the neighborhoods and the city center. It has great green space, a good skyline, some terrific ethnic areas and stunning industrial vistas.
Sound stages: Do you have any?
How's 21 sound?
How about film labs?
Yes. Filmcraft is a full service 24/7 film lab in Farmington Hills. They can be contacted at (248) 474-3900 or e-mail info-filmcraft@filmcraftimaging.com.
Does Michigan have much of a commercial business?
We are ranked 4th in the nation, 7th in the world, in commercial billings.
Are you union or right-to-work?
We're union. Our IATSE and Teamster Locals are highly skilled and very friendly. Bring them a small or big budget - they'll make you an offer that works.
What do you have besides big-city looks?
How's the weather?
Interesting. Michigan gives film production companies some choices.
