Movie Producer Bill Mechanic on Spartan Podcast
From MSU Today on Impact Radio: MSU alumnus Bill Mechanic was back in town for a prescreening of his latest movie, “Coraline,” the first stop-motion film to be shot in 3-D.
Mechanic talks about the viability of a growing film business in Michigan and gives his thoughts on what schools like MSU can do to meet this new job market. He also gives his thoughts on the challenges and opportunities ahead for the movie industry.
“A lot of kids naturally have technology skills,” says Mechanic. “But schools can help kids hone critical writing skills because the best games and movies tell a compelling story amdist the technology.”
