 * Notes:


 * While Ties That Confide: Reception Wishes was edited and uploaded to YouTube back in 2009 at Ferris, it was inceived in Delta Twp. and shot in a small suburb of Kalamazoo. A Witness from Dirbine and Pursuit of the Facts were both made in Delta Twp., even though they're tie-ins to Ciem 2.


 * Works produced in Delta Twp. and Farmington, even if tied to Big Rapids, don't count for this list. All SWOCC Studios projects are considered their own separate portfolio, even if they tie in with Ferris work.
