Update: Detroit 1-8-7 "On The Set" and "Life In A Day" Submission

Hamtramck is abuzz today with movie crew, contractors, and curious people looking to get a glimpse of Hollywood. Detroit 1-8-7 begins filming today, and the set was completely dressed at around 2pm. Not only does it look amazing, it makes the former shoppers world look amazing too. New lights were installed under the awning, new window cling decor was applied, and the store was set up with merchandise. Booms, trailers, and catering trucks are occupying Yemans, and the Town Center parking lot. Filming will begin at dark today.


In other, more personal news, Youtube's "Life In A Day" project is accepting submissions tomorrow between 12:01 am and 11:59pm. The assignment is to film a portion of your daily life that is important to you. If your submission is chosen, it will be added to the feature length documentary "Life In A Day" which documents one day in the world from many different perspectives. I will be filming a segment and submitting tomorrow. Wish me good luck!
