The Gritwood filmmaker workspace is running for a small number of Detroit productions — build the project, break down the roles, and carry it through applications, auditions and offers in one place.

See the system
A production breakdown, not another social post.
Sample productions show how project details, roles, logistics and casting information can live together in one structured place. Nothing there is an active opportunity — it is the shape of the thing, open for inspection.
A stronger film community
Stories build communities.
Independent productions already happen across Detroit, Pontiac, Flint, Southfield, Lansing, Royal Oak and the rest of Michigan. Gritwood exists to give that work a clearer place to organize, connect and grow.
Local first
Built around Michigan's filmmakers, talent and production community.
People before platforms
The tools matter because they help real people make real work together.
Build the infrastructure
The long-term vision extends beyond software toward a physical home for production, collaboration and filmmaking infrastructure.
