Jobs in Michigan

[Jon Chema]

Now, I know that this may seem humorous to many, being the uber high unemployment rate of 15%, but Michigan is my home state. After attending school for a year out of state, I have been home for the summer and will be for fall semester as well. While home this summer, I started my own small business shooting wedding video and various other "documentary" style works. Anyways, now that the fall is rolling around, I am wondering if anyone in the area knows of any film work. I'm looking to build my portfolio and just gain more experience so high pay really isn't an issue- just looking to get compensated somewhat.:biggrin:

I love Michigan. Have a few friends there and enjoyed being there a few months ago to see the Spartans/UNC play. I am hoping the Michigan economy, in particular, will recover soon. Good luck on your small business and portfolio!

Thanks! It's really is a great state despite the winters and poor economy. The great lakes and thousands of golf courses are beautiful!

I live in Grand Blanc, MI. A suburb of Flint. Its about 10 minutes from Flint and about 45 from Detroit.

As far as experience...mainly documentary style stuff, but I shot a low budget short this summer with some buddies from college. I also have about 6 years experience with FCP. Shot a couple of weddings this summer as well as a few promo pieces.
