The panel discussion followed the premiere of 'Bully,' a documentary screened at the Palladium as part of the second annual Uptown Film Festival Saturday.

The mood was optimistic Saturday morning as a panel of film industry experts discussed the status of the Michigan film industry, held as part of the second annual Uptown Film Festival at the Palladium 12.

"My colleagues in LA thought it was over in Detroit," said Peter Nelson, a filmmaker and producer who worked on the made-in-Detroit film, Sparkle. "We need to clear up those misconceptions." Sitting alongside Nelson at the early-morning panel was Carrie Jones, director of the Michigan Film Office; Sen. Randy …
