S3 Entertainment Group is focused on building a sophisticated and comprehensive infrastructure — attracting film and television projects to Michigan and helping Michigan workers get quality jobs — to help producers and filmmakers take full advantage of Michigan’s generous film incentives. Those incentives are headlined by a tax initiative that refunds up to 42% of Michigan expenditures.

S3 Entertainment Group can help producers finance the projects through it’s subsidiary Michigan Film Finance. In addition, we train workers in the film and television industry, helping Michigan workers gain employment in these fields, through out Film Industry Training program.

We are based in Ferndale, Michigan and also have offices in Los Angeles, California. We are committed to not only helping film and television producers maximize the benefits of Michigan’s new production incentives, but also to ensure that their filming experience is a good one; S3 Entertainment Group is a full-service direct provider supplying an extraordinary range of financing, equipment and services to the film production industry. In short, we are able to serve as a one-stop-shop, providing equipment, financial, technical, logistical and creative support – virtually everything a filmmaking company needs to make a successful movie.

While Michigan may be a relative newcomer on the filmmaking scene, the partners behind S3 Entertainment are a group of savvy industry veterans with diverse range of professional experiences and informed perspectives, each with more than 20 years of entertainment industry experience.

That executive experience carries over into S3’s operational capacity, where the firm has already established itself as the most experienced company directly providing services to the entertainment industry in the State of Michigan. S3 has partnered with several experienced local and regional firms to create strategic partnerships that are better able to meet the needs of production clients.

With financial and production partners who have worked in the industry for decades, and an equipment partner who is the largest provider of gear for the entertainment industry in North America, S3’s scope of service and depth of experience is without equal in the State of Michigan. All of the firm’s affiliated entities are based in Michigan and qualify for the incentives offered by the State of Michigan.
