DETROIT, Sept. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- A new video released today highlights the tremendous positive impact that the film industry incentive is having on the Michigan economy after only a few short months.

"This video demonstrates the positive impact the film industry has brought into the state," said Spilman. "The film crews are spending money in our state and bringing jobs to our communities. A lot of people are working because of these incentives."
"This gave us the chance to showcase our state and the great experiences filmmakers are having in Michigan," said Larry August, COO of S3EG and owner of Avalon Films.
