Land of 10,000 Locations...

We're not kidding!

Follow us on instagram and see the best production locations Minnesota has to offer.

GET LISTED in the Directory!

We refer people to the production directory every single day when they contact our office.  When production companies from all over the globe (like LA, NYC, the UK and Norway) and representatives from HBO, Discovery, Bravo, History Channel and all the networks contact us to find out where to look for crew, production personnel and production services in MN -- we send them to the directory.  

The better Minnesota's Production Community is represented in the directory, the bigger the draw for large-scale and big budget projects to come to our state.

So...Are you listed?
