The Michigan Film Office is part of the State of Michigan’s government website. The office was created to promote the growth of Michigan’s film industry act as a facilitator between state resources and film/TV production companies. While the need for its services has increased since the passage of the film incentives program in 2008, the Michigan Film Office was actually created back in 1979.
