Northern Minnesota is home to a burgeoning film scene. This session will include a discussion about what it's "really" like to shoot here and a look into the resources (and incentives) that filmmakers can access to make their next project. We'll talk all things crew (including how to work on local crews) and welcome guests including filmmakers who have created projects, Zack Morrison (CANUSA ST), Keith Hopkins (Man has a Mania), and Mandy June Turpin (Rescuing Christmas, Merry KissCam, & Body Language)

Panelists, Anne Beresford (CHUCK CHUCK BABY), Maximilian Selim, (ABROAD), Matt Post (UNDERRATED), Jim Brunzell (DARK STAR PICTURES), discuss their unique experiences after a film production is completed, both from the filmmaker standpoint and from the distributor point of view.
