Snowbate recommendations

Bizarre Foods
"Tremendous Entertainment has participated in Snowbate since the inception of the program. Television networks look favorably on any opportunity to offset production budgets in this competitive media landscape. We hope Snowbate funding will continue to be made available to our Minnesota production community."

Chief Operating Officer and Vice-President

Into Temptation
"Into Temptation could not have been made without Snowbate. There is no other way to state it. My project was being wooed to shoot in Milwaukee. The incentive we received from the State of Minnesota allowed me to convince my investors and producers to stay home, shooting the film in the city it was written to be shot in. For this reason my vision actually made it to the screen, fueled by our great local talent and production facilities. The film has been distributed nationally, is being very well received, and Minneapolis, in all her glory, has been captured on film--not Milwaukee."

Rehab Addict
"While Magnetic Productions (formerly Edelman Productions) has been in business for less than one year, we've experienced tremendous growth, rapidly expanding from a staff of nine to a full time staff of 30. We also keep at least 10 freelancers busy on a regular basis. Our success has definitely been fueled by the Snowbate funds. The money has given us the resource to compete with production companies in other states. We've mainly used the money to fund our development efforts, and this has an immediate impact on our business. With the additional Snowbate resources, we were able to land a million dollar plus contract. Without the Snowbate money, it's doubtful we would have been able to obtain that business."
