Realtyme Productions was more of a nomadic firm before finding its home in 25,000 square feet on Fort Street in southwest Detroit.
The 6-year-old company is opening a film production studio in the second floor of 1915 Fort St.'s five stories. It's also opening an art gallery in the front of that space. The two spaces are meant to complement each other's creative sides.
"The film industry is taking off here so we're going to throw our hat in the ring," says Kenneth Eaddy, director and CEO of Realtyme Productions, which is a division of Abundant Harvest Holdings.
The company got its start producing music popular in urban areas, such as gospel, R&B and hip hop. One job led to another and the next thing Realtyme Productions knew it was employing 50 people and producing everything from music to film. It plans to use its new space for productions of everything from music videos to low-budget films.
It hopes to one day buy the building its renting space in and continue to hire to accommodate its steady growth.
