THEHOLLYWOODWARD brings concierge service to film crews

Kelly McKeon knows that the film crews working in Michigan are here to get a job, but she knows they have some free time, too. Her business services both needs.

The Royal Oak resident started THEHOLLYWOODWARD this summer. The concierge service specializes in pointing them in the right direction and making sure the path is clear. That can mean anything from suggesting locations to reserving rooms.

"I can hook them up with whatever they need," McKeon says.

She had been working as an independent contractor with different film crews in recent months when she decided to make this her business. It turns out the demand is definitely there. Her clients buy just about all of her time now, so much so that she plans to hire a person or two before the end of the year.

"I am already at the point where I think I need more help," McKeon says.
