MPI's 20th Anniversary

I had a chance to attend MPI's (The Motion Picture Institute of Michigan) 20th Anniversary the other weekend. I graduated from there in 2005 in independent filmmaking. It was interesting meeting newer alumni and making new connections as well as keeping alive old ones. I think the school has improved greatly since 2005.

The video shows the talents of stunt fighters from Ring of Steel. The head trainer has worked on big movies like The Princess Bride & Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. They did some Marvel movie fighting and had a Captain America shield available for a fighting demo.

There seem to be more students actually making indy films with 1-2 million dollar budgets at the school now. This is shocking to me because in my class no one was able to fund a movie like that. The fire in me for filmmaking is reigniting. Stay tuned everyone.
