Why Detroit is a Great Place to Study Film & Video
As a recording venue for everything from the works of well-known documentarian Michael Moore (including Roger & Me and Bowling for Columbine) to mainstream fare such as Beverly Hills Cop, Presumed Innocent, and Grosse Pointe Blank, Detroit is no stranger to the art of filmmaking. In its efforts to maintain economic viability through the decline of the automobile industry (that being the driving force that basically brought Detroit into the world), this city has embraced the movie industry as a part of its expansion into areas of the work world that will keep it healthy and thriving into the future.
