Economic development is often viewed through the lens of transaction: a company chooses a site, local officials hold a press conference, and ground is broken on a new facility. When community members feel disconnected from that process, new development can feel like something happening to them rather than for them.

Did you know that feature films are being made right here in Northeast Indiana?🍿

Starring John Rhys-Davis (seen in Lord of the Rings) and Paris Brosnan (Yes, he's a Brosnan), Seniors Movie is coming to a theater near you this weekend! Huntington University and Forester Film's latest award-winning movie was filmed in Northeast Indiana alongside over 40 HU film production students getting hands-on experience in the industry.

The film's director, Lance Clark, was named our Brand Champion Category winner this year! We are proud to have a true pioneer like Lance here in Northeast Indiana.

Seniors is a family-friendly film that follows a rebellious high school senior who is sentenced to court-ordered community service at a retirement home; the last thing he expects to find is a friend. But a chance encounter with a troubled war veteran turns obligation into something neither of them saw coming.

As their unlikely bond deepens, both men are forced to confront the pasts they've been running from — and discover that no matter how old you are, it's never too late to find purpose, healing and hope.

We loved having Belle & Callie from the NEI team in the shop today! 👋

They got an inside look at our machines, processes, and the many ways we can help businesses bring their brands to life — from promotional products and custom apparel to awards, signage, and more. They even got to take home a few things made right here while they were visiting!
