From staff reports

Made in Michigan, a popular film series hosted by The Bay Community Theatre in Suttons Bay highlighting great films made in the state of Michigan, concludes on Sunday, April 13, at 4 pm with a special screening of filmmaker Keith Famie’s Detroit: The City of Chefs, an inspiring documentary that celebrates the rich heritage of Detroit’s culinary scene. The Made in Michigan 2025 series is proudly presented by French Valley Vineyard and Hendryx House.

This follows on the heels of crowd-pleasing screenings of The Search for Anna and Levi: A Lost History of Black Homesteaders in Leelanau County and Dogman 3: Fight to the Finish.

Emmy-winning producer/director Keith Famie—known for many years as a celebrity chef and a metro Detroit restaurateur who hosted his own Food Network series before moving to documentary filmmaking—takes a deep dive into Detroit’s fascinating food history through interviews with notable chefs, restaurant owners, and hospitality industry personalities from across the decades. The film honors the rich culture of diverse ethnic groups and immigrants who’ve helped make the city the renowned dining destination it’s become today. The screening will be followed by a filmmaker Q&A. Doors open at 3pm.

Tickets to all Made in Michigan screenings are $12 and available at TheBayTheatre.com. Made in Michigan is another value-added offering by the nonprofit Bay Community Theatre to provide community entertainment and programming.
