Rally to save Michigan Film Incentive

Join me for a special event!!

You may always say you want to make a difference - well, now is your chance.  Join the email & letter writing campaign to save our film incentives and keep Michigan working.

Like many others who already have been laid off (I’ve been laid off 3 times in the past) workers, like myself in the film industry are finally getting jobs.  Help me keep my working and others to get back to work by supporting this campaign.

Official news release below:

One of the most successful efforts to re-build the economy is in danger of terminal legislative “flip flop”. Film industry producers are sitting on their wallets watching and waiting to get a clear sign if Michigan is really going to roll back its promise and kill this new industry.

Mike Manasseri of BigScreenMichigan.com “ The highly successful Michigan Film Tax Incentive is in danger of being reduced, capped, or altered in a way that would destroy the momentum that has been generated over the past 18 months in the Michigan motion picture, television, and video game industry. We need all Michigan filmmakers, supporters, artists and crew to step forward and speak up.”
Dan McGowan of TheCrofoot.com “We need to focus our cameras right on the legislators who are destroying Michigan’s credibility by flip flopping on film incentives. . . .”

Join supporters and members of Michigan’s film industry as they rally to preserve the Film Incentives. This Rally and effort is being coordinated and sponsored by a growing coalition. Please contact us and add your name and organizations to the effort to save the Michigan Film Incentives.
