We brought DETROIT 48202 home for its world premiere at the Detroit Free Press Film Festival on April 14 – 15, 2018. The film and its star, Wendell Watkins, got a lot of love from two sold out audiences at the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Detroit Historical Museum.

We look forward to future community screenings in the Detroit area in the coming months. Stay tuned for details.
