The 22nd year of A Rally of Writers, a freelance writing conference, will take place on Saturday, April 4, 2009, at the Lansing Community College West Campus Conference Center. This day-long event begins at 8:30 a.m. and features 10 Michigan writers, poets, artists and screenwriters hosting 16 educational sessions on all aspects of writing and publishing, from basic submission and editing tips to in depth advice on fiction, nonfiction, poetry, memoir, photography, children's books, and comic books.
The keynote speaker for 2009 is Gerry LaFemina, poet, fiction writer and essayist. LaFemina's 9 a.m. opening session, “Strange Duality: the Social and Anti-Social Behaviors of Writers and Pleaders,” is free and open to the public courtesy of the Michigan Humanities Council and Gibson's Books and Beans.
The public is also invited to attend a free pre-Rally event at Schuler Books and Music in the Eastwood Towne Center, Friday evening, April 3, at 7 p.m., to learn about “Movies Made in Michigan.” Guest speakers, including Ken Droz of the Michigan Film Office, will discuss the growing Michigan movie industry. One special guest will be Ahney Her, the local high school student who starred opposite Clint Eastwood in “Gran Torino.”

Exclusive : On The Set of Gran Torino
By Clint Morris | January 26, 2009
It is warm and humid on this summer afternoon in Highland Park, a half-hour drive from downtown Detroit, and Clint Eastwood is back in front of the camera for the first time in four years, an event that his fans feared might never happen. But there he is - cool and utterly relaxed as the camera rolls on the set of Gran Torino, entirely filmed in Michigan. His 29th film as a director-producer, and the 23rd time he has directed himself.
The call sheet indicates that is day 15 of filming. Twenty more to go.

West Michigan goes to a Mitten movie, but wait ...
By Bill Iddings | The Muskegon Chronicle January 13, 2009
The combination of Clint Eastwood and Michigan looked irresistible.
In the early afternoon of Jan. 9, several hundred people piled into an auditorium at Cinema Carousel Theatre.
They'd come to the multiplex for the first Muskegon screening of "Gran Torino," Eastwood's new movie which was shot this past summer around Detroit.
