Film Detroit was established by the Detroit Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau to act as liaison between the movie industry and local resources to help production crews easily, effectively and creatively film in metro Detroit.

With a broader mission and an innovative approach to promoting film and digital media productions throughout the state, we are expanding our scope to support the creative industries in a more holistic way. Michigan is a preeminent place for filmmakers, digital media artists and producers along with being a home for the range of talent in the state's creative industries. The goal of the Film & Digital Media Office is to attract businesses that create content across all channels, including mobile, CGI, animation, digital gaming and social media. For over 30 years, we've been supporting the media industries here and positioning Michigan as a worldwide production destination, and we're looking forward to helping you.
