Ypsi: Movie

By

The Eastern Echo, Eastern Michigan University’s student publication, reports on actress/director Drew Barrymore’s visit to Farmington Hills last weekend to promote her new movie “Whip It,” which was partially filmed in Ypsilanti. Says Barrymore: “I love Ypsi and I love the town and the family neighborhood that it provided for Ellen [Page’s] family in the movie. It was just perfect. It provided this timely, beautiful backdrop. I couldn’t have dreamed of finding a better location to cinematically tell the story and give the vibe of where the family lived in this perfect cul-de-sac in Ypsilanti.” [Source]
