News: Grand Rapids Business Journal Quotes Joe Voss on Movie Industry Incentives

The Grand Rapids Business Journal quoted Corporate Associate Joseph L. Voss in its June 4th article, "Movie Industry Incentives Challenged:" 

Joe Voss, an attorney who supports the movie industry incentives, said the law should also include production of commercials shot in Michigan, but the Treasury Department says the law specifically excludes television commercials unless that commercial is advertising a feature film that qualified for the Michigan incentives.

He noted that southeast Michigan had a long history of companies that worked in production of television commercials for the Big Three automakers. GM, Ford and Chrysler had major sound stages, film equipment and production crews, "second only to Hollywood," and that is why some movie producers have already opted to make films in the Detroit area.
