With Michigan offering massive tax incentives to filmmakers and production companies, and thousands of highly skilled Michigan workers unemployed, CFS founders Mort Meisner and Jack Grushko saw the need for an establishment that could help keep those incentives alive, while also helping to create jobs in the down economy. They envisioned an institution that would allow Michigan's vast wealth of talented workers to stay in the state that they love, and continue to support its economy. This vision coincided with the production companies' need to hire Michigan residents in order to preserve the maximum tax incentives.
