New upcoming film company from Grand Rapids aims to be different within the community

Studio 47 is a film & photography company based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Owned by Joe Watkins and Back Street Films. Based in and around Grand Rapids has showed many people who love film that you can do anything if you put your mind to it. Growing up I would play with my moms camera taking pictures and videos outside. I loved going outside and watching the birds fly around or going to the beach and watching the sunset. I knew from there that I would want to do film, many people doubted me because getting in that industry is a challenge. That didn’t stop me from chasing my dream of directing my own movie or series. I always wanted to do something different in the world and make a difference, I knew that film would help me get there by showing people the world through my eyes. I enjoy film making because it sets me apart from the crowd it gives you endless possibilities, you can start with little to no gear to using high tech gear all with little experience. I not only love film it’s my passion and i want to change the world with it. Everyone thinks that you have to have lots of money to make good content that is not true. I started from the bottom by shooting some videos with my friend with a $20 camera and worked my way up to shooting and directing a music video with high quality gear. I’m different as a film maker…
