Lockwood locks up Hollywood productions - Shout out to the Code

By KATHY A. MCDONALD

Michigan's status as flyover country is quickly changing. The state's year-old production incentive program has lured Hollywood types, and its film commissions have risen to the task.
First stop is the Michigan Film Office, led by Janet Lockwood, which reviews scripts and approves incentive applications. "Michigan does not have to play Michigan," advises Lockwood. "We play the world."

She adds that two fulltime location scouts are on staff and available for up to two days of free location scouting anywhere in the state.
