June 29! Grab your tickets!

REEL MICHIGAN is almost here folks (June 29) and it is going to be better than ever!  Not only do we have a wonderfully diverse selection of short films like Whiskey Tango by Scott A. Galeski and Damnbulance by Terence Cover but they are also damn good! Actually, though I hate to drop names...(ok, you dragged it out of me!) word has it that Detroit's own rock legend, Mitch Ryder from Whiskey Tango, will be attending this year!  Now THAT calls for a shot of whiskey!  

Let's not forget, Reel Michigan will also be hosting a community screening at 8:30PM of Judith Burdick's documentary Transforming Loss.  It has recieved much acclaim and it's a film you don't want to miss..
