The thriving Detroit film scene continues to produce fan favorite shows and movies, which can often be found on Tubi and Youtube. The local artists and creators in Detroit continue to do what they can with what they have.
Resources and access to them are limited, but the City of Detroit wants to make a change.
The city is offering a new initiative to support local film creators called Film Detroit. They want to attract actors, production assistants, directors and more while providing them the chance to connect and learn about what the city has to offer.
This Wednesday September 10th, the city is hosting its first Film Detroit outreach session which will include food, music and networking.
Chantal Cook is the program coordinator for Film Detroit. She joins The Metro to speak more about Detroit’s film community.
