Someone should enter this and produce a movie about all the downtown GR developments!

With all the developments going in downtown, 5 minutes wouldn't be enough time!

I read that there are 4 required elements that must be in each movie; what a fun, unique idea. Who knows, the next big Hollywood movie producer could come out of this event. Or, should I say 'west Michigan' producer? Seems like west Mich is really embracing the film industry, with this organization and some film studios in Holland.

I saw the posters for this. Looks like a really cool competition!

Looks like they were trying to play off of the "24" tv show theme for thier posters and promotions. Visited their website the other day (www.compassacademy.org) and learned more about this. Looks pretty unique. Who knew there was a real film school here in GR?

Can't wait to see the winning entries this Friday at Studio 28. Tickets, popcorn and drink for $5 - can't beat that!
