The D

Posted in Burn One Clothing by ashley on September 21, 2008


I just went back to Michigan to learn more about shooting movies there with the new AMAZING tax incentive being offered. I went into Detroit with a good friend of mine who is originally from there to scout locations and see the city. We had a wonderful time exploring the streets and here is a few pictures I took while we were down there. Detroit has been through a lot (to say the least) as a city, throughout the years. I grew up in Ann Arbor hearing stories from my parents about how wonderful Detroit was when they were growing up. After going back and visiting, I believe more than ever in the future of Detroit.

Here is a picture I took that reminds me of our DETROIT T-SHIRTS at our store, designed by Marta Alvira-Hammond. The city has an odd beauty to it. There are new building next to abandoned one, stretched across the skyline. It is a dream of mine to shoot in Detroit and a bigger dream of mine to create a permanent film base for Burn One Productions in Michigan. It was a wonderful trip and I am so inspired by the people of Detroit. Now is the time to rise again.
