Grand Rapids was once again the ideal
setting for a feature film drawing Hollywood actors, directors and crew

incentives package, West Michigan has been the recipient of film

GRAND RAPIDS -- With the Sixth Street
Bridge as a backdrop in the night, the bright lights of Hollywood once

riverside with cameras, hoping to catch a glimpse of the talent.
