Your farm or other ag-related location might be able to harvest dollars from the influx of film-making companies lured to Michigan with fat state incentives.
The Michigan Film Office is looking for agricultural locations to be used in feature films. From your historic family farm house, to livestock barns, and crop fields, the state is looking to build a database of potential locations for film companies.
Production companies pay fees to private property owners for use of “locations” for feature films, documentaries, television shows, television commercials, print ads and catalog photographs. Locations can be as common as an overgrown field, the interior of a barn or the front yard of a classic farm house. Allowing the use of your home, land or business as a location can be exciting, and a profitable venture, state officials say. Productions usually spend money on local businesses which can be a positive opportunity for the entire community.
