Filming wraps up on North Shore, more projects invited

Back in May, WTIP spoke with Riki McManus of the Upper Midwest Film Office — an interesting organization, working to bring movie and TV productions to the Midwest–and to the North Shore. In May and into June, a full-length movie was being filmed in Two Harbors, Silver Bay, and Grand Marais.

WTIP followed up with McManus, to learn how things went and about her role as a liaison between the community and filmmakers.

McManus also shared information on some pending legislation that could provide incentives for other producers to consider Minnesota as a place to make movies.

WTIP’s Rhonda Silence learns more in this interview.
