Learn Film Production Close to Home with a Michigan Film Industry Insider<\/span><\/h2>\nIf you think Michigan offers no opportunities to connect to the film industry, think again. Thanks in part to generous incentives offered by the state, major film productions come to film on location in Michigan on a regular basis! These are just a few examples: Gran Torino (2008), 8 Mile (2002), Road to Perdition (2002), The Ides of March (2011), Beverly Hills Cop (1984), Grosse Pointe Blank (1997), The Five Year Engagement (2012), Oz the Great and Powerful (2013), Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014). This partial list doesn\u2019t even speak to the many local film and television productions happening in Michigan at any given moment. Whether you live in Detroit, Lansing, Grand Rapids, Alpena, Traverse City, or anywhere in between, the Michigan Film Connection can get you close to the action where other film schools can\u2019t.","image_content_area_3":null,"content_area_3":"
