According to a blog post on Pure Michigan, the duo will create an "energetic digital video that highlights various things the state has to offer. The video will serve as a way to help tell the story of Michigan as a great place to live, work, play and build a business."
According to the report, it will all take place in an "Imported from Detroit" Chrysler vehicle.
