how we generate publicity

Jeff Spilman, managing partner and co-founder of Ferndale, Mich.-based S3 Entertainment Group (S3EG), the leading production services company and film finance lender in Michigan, was recently featured in The New York Times in “A Hollywood Sequel for Michigan Workers.”

The article covered the creative ways that Michigan government, colleges and companies, such as S3EG, are creating opportunities to fund and establish film industry training programs for Michigan residents, many whom have lost their jobs in the past year.

S3EG currently offers an ongoing Film Industry Training program with Oakland Community College. In the article, Spilman provided insight into what makes this program different, how students can get funding through scholarships and grants from the state, and what kinds of jobs they can obtain in Michigan's emerging film industry once the course is completed.

S3 Entertainment Group is the leading provider of services to the film industry in Michigan. With offices in Detroit and Los Angeles, S3EG has focused on building infrastructure in Michigan that can help productions to maximize the benefits of the Michigan Film Incentive. S3EG’s wide variety of direct services includes production services, film finance, gear rental, tax incentive consulting and monetization, travel, catering and craft services. All of these services qualify for the Michigan Film Incentive at the top rate of 42 percent. For more information, visit www.s3eg.com.
