This WAS the networking event for all the homegrown Scorceses, Spielbergs, Brandos, Jody Fosters and Jackie Chans .
The Crofoot Pontiac was packed with Michiganders and Out-of-towners that flew in from New York and LA. The panel discussion and Q & A session was a little chaotic with the evidence of local frustration but the young professionals and old time gurus made the most of the event with substantial interpersonal networking.
With this emerging industry taking a foothold in the area it may be time to dust off your screen plays and be ready for the next event which is geared to go in June 2009.
Local film maker Dan McGowan who organized the networking event mentioned to MCB that his expectations were exceeded by the turnout and by the excitement that seemed be in the air.
He added - "This is only the beginning - we are already planning for the next one and we couldn't be happier with what we are seeing today!"
Keep your eyes on The Crofoot website for early info on the next Michigan Movie Networking Event and of course MCB will let you know as soon as possible.
