Wayne County hosts forum on how to be more film friendly

Making Michigan’s new incentives for film projects work the best for local businesses and municipalities will be at the heart of a forum Sept. 10 in downtown Detroit.

The "When Hollywood Comes to Town" symposium will be held in the Guardian Building and will focus on making cities as film-friendly as possible. The event will teach business and governments how best to deal with Hollywood and streamline the whole process.

Discussion topics will include an overview of the new film incentives, a discussion of what location scouts and managers are looking for, working with the media and what communities and businesses can do to promote themselves to the film industry.

Municipal representatives can attend for free and members of the general public can attend for $99. For information, click here.
