Since this has been a topic of late, I got this from a friend at the Michigan Film Office. It's an official list of feature films in Michigan. I know that it was mentioned that a lot of films are made outside like Hollywood, but today that's different. Many of the films today are being shot in Canada due to the weaker Canadian dollar and the numerous discounts being offered by the film companies there. It's making it tough for US crews to get the work, but there are some coming up to look out for here in Michigan. For example, '61, the new Billy Crystal directed HBO flick, Chasing Sleep w/ Jeff Daniels and Gil Bellows (filmed in Jackson and Stockbridge) and Nobody Knows, just wrapped last weekend, small budget, but with a # of B list actors: Barry Corbin (Maurice on Northern Exposure), Bruce Campbell, Ralph Waite (dad on Walton Family), Larry Drake (LA Law, also numerous villains including the Darkman bad guy). Anyone catch the movie "Groove", a documentary on raves? I've seen a few newsclippings, but haven't seen if it's going to be released anywhere. It did well at Sundance and I think was eventually picked by Sony?
