Ope! It's a New Era for Minnesota Film

Some of the most iconic American movies were shot right here in Minnesota in the '90s. From "The Mighty Ducks" to "Fargo," Minnesota-made films inspired generations to dream big. 

More than 30 years later, these films’ lasting influence on American storytelling continues to shape cultural imaginations of Minnesota. Now, with a reinvigorated commitment to attract new projects, Explore Minnesota Film invites filmmakers to bring their stories to life in Minnesota once again. 

Learn more about filming in Minnesota and the 10,000 Stories Fund, a grant program designed to attract new projects and strengthen the state's growing creative economy.
