Filmmakers Meet Your Competition…

DUMB.

Roll in the trucks. (bought in california) Fire up the Generators (fuel purchased in Ohio) And shoot a scene of Detroit (titled .. “the Kwame Kilpatrick story” A Love affair with power) Send the bill to Lansing (the filmmakers accounts payable team) and they send the bill to us.

42%?   insane.

In fact using logic, there isn’t a business in this state that shouldn’t have a film crew on the ready to expense all of its costs as reasons to make a film.

Imagine these popular titles!!!:

Meijer’s in  “Thrifty Story” – “Follow the adventures of a shopping cart as it goes in and out of the store. A Family adventure..”

Briggs & Stratton – “Lawncare and your riding mower”

Four Winns – “Water and waves lap across our bows”

Lazyboy – Just  hangin around drinkin a bud

Steelcase – “Not just for Filing anymore”

Maytag – Hey Maybe we’ll Come back someday!

The list is endless.. well it soon may not be, unless REAL change in how business is treated in this state is enacted.  Jennie Get the damn stars out of your eyes and look around you.  Your fiscal policy and under examined imagination has brought us to the brink.

    What are movies if they’re not stories about people. People’s lives. Hey, we’re all people. We all have lives. And adventure is where you find it so technically we all have adventures too!

    We should all draft scripts, grab our camcorders and expense every part of our life… food, housing, recreation… hey, it’s in the script. 42% off!
