Word on the street is that Hollywood quietly rolled in and out of town this week filming an upcoming movie called “Demoted”. You may have seen the trailers parked in the auxiliary High School Parking lot off of 10 mile just west of City Hall.
This is such a boost to the city (if not simply for bragging rights). So I ask, why is it that our city officials feel they need to keep this news from us and the local media? Why can’t we share in the excitement? The City of Howell recently publicized a movie deal they landed, and it was WITH THE SAME EXACT PRODUCTION COMPANY!
This is just absolutely silly!
Note: Subsequent to this posting, City Manager Clay Pearson sent me a note explaining that
“the film company requested a quiet presence and ability to do their work. We did and will respect request of any high-profile customer. That respect was emphasized by advisors who are the experts and have the connections for future such work; and the resulting positive impact for restaurants, hotels, etc in the area. We have recd positive feedback and look forward to future opportunities.”
Touch?… I stand humbled!
