ture and workforce for a growing tax
base.
"Schools opened up film-study pro-
grams and, without incentives, there will
be a lack of jobs for people entering the
field. One photographer I know is mov-
ing to Georgia because of the economic
benefits offered there"
Droz explains that film-related ven-
dors, such as special-effects companies
and caterers, have closed up and left the
state because of incentive uncertainty.
Shortly before the legislature took
its vote, a town hall meeting about the
issues was arranged by Mark Adler,
who does video assist work and serves
as a founding director of the Michigan
Production Alliance.
Adler, who has worked on Batman
v Superman: Dawn of Justice as well as
cable and advertising projects, hoped to
generate public enthusiasm for support-
ing incentives. To his dismay, the legisla-
ture voted before the meeting took place.
"There were no real answers, but we
earned some money and got 60 new
members" Adler says about the meeting.
"I want to stay in Michigan and work
where I've worked for 30 years.
"I'm seeing work disappearing to plac-
es that have incentives, and I'm doing
more with teleprompting and operating
a roto camera for the Detroit Symphony
Orchestra and the MotorCity Casino"

summer with Steve Martin and Martin
Short to do teleprompting. He met them
through work in Michigan. "If Michigan
wants to build a strong economy, gov-
ernment shouldn't forsake the growth of
another industry," Adler says.
Elliot Wilhelm, director of the Detroit
Film Theatre at the Detroit Institute
of Arts and host of Friday Night Film
Festival on WTVS, has kept up with
information about film projects pro-
duced in Michigan.
"I think that the funding was cut
way too early because filmmakers were
beginning to see all the resources avail-
able here" Wilhelm says. "Oz the Great
and Powerful was directed in Michigan
by Sam Raimi, who grew up in the state,
and the movie shows the technical qual-
ity of talented local crews:'
Wilhelm, who heard positive reactions
from Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons
as he showed them around the Detroit
Institute of Arts, also has watched the
excitement of young people responding
to film projects.
"There's a ripple effect in having
people see the production riches that are
incalculable as carried out by Michigan
crews," he says about incentive effects.
"I think filmmaking has been a great
morale booster and an uplift for tour-
ism:'

five kids and a wife named Jeannie,
