Eleven years ago, someone decided Nicolas Cage deserved his own Hamtramck film festival.

Since then, there have been costumes, booze, burlesque, a shotgun wedding & a man on fire.

Nicolas Uncaged is back Sept. 11, & somehow it’s even weirder. https://t.co/wvJ7PdFf5M

Ms. Pat has survived poverty, violence, prison, & plenty of bad decisions. She turned it all into brutally funny comedy.

They just can't catch a break. Eight months after being forced from the Leland House, former residents are still waiting to be compensated. Now they fear the city of Detroit could take a large share of the money first. https://t.co/2THaGjDMYv
