Whether you're a longtime production industry professional or are new to the film/TV business, you'll find topics in our monthly series that can help you move your career to the next level.

Join MN Film & TV Office each first Friday of the month, from noon to 1:00pm to learn something new about being a media professional in Minnesota.

It's Labor Day Weekend so there's no First Friday this month.

On October 1, please join Executive Director Melodie Bahan, Incentive Specialist Jill Johansen, and MN Dept. of Employment & Economic Development Program Officer Stephen Wolff to learn about Minnesota's new production tax credit incentive.

Previous First Fridays are archived and can be viewed on our YouTube page.

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?
