The Detroit: The City of Chefs film, a documentary about Detroit’s culinary heritage, won a 2025 Michigan Emmy Award for Best Historical Documentary.

The stop-motion animation in the opening title sequence of the film was created by CCS students, faculty, and staff during the Sponsored Studio course DMA 485B Stop Motion: Detroit Chefs within the Entertainment Arts department in the Winter 2024 semester. Created in collaboration with Keith Famie of Visionalist Entertainment, the film also features work by culinary students at Schoolcraft College.

The film aired on PBS in 2024 and can be viewed at PBS Detroit.
