Made-in-Michigan shorts up to 50 minutes.
MISSION & OBJECTIVE
To mirror and support the Michigan Film Initiative which gives a 42% tax credit for films and video games made in Michigan, especially to help people of all ages to break into the film and video game industry in Michigan.
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
Lapeer, Michigan is a picturesque Midwestern town founded well before the Civil War that is 20 minutes from Bishop International Airport on Interstate 69 which is a major trade route from Canada into the United States. Amtrak runs through the town connecting Canada to Chicago. Located an hour north of the Detroit Metropolitan Area in southeast Michigan where most of Michigan's burgeoning film and game industry is taking root, there is real potential for the town to develop into a made-in-Michigan film and game makers outlet to exhibit their product for sale to distributors from across the United States and Canada. Some of the most successful film festivals are located in easily-accessed, small towns like Lapeer. The Michigan film and game industry is booming even though the Michigan Film Initiative is only one year old, with sound stages under construction in Detroit and, even closer to Lapeer, Pontiac. In Plymouth, Michigan, a Detroit suburb, a major expansion is underway at a video game production company.
The Michigan Film Office has already approved 72 feature films to receive the tax credit, of which 23 have been completed.
