There have been many movies filmed entirely, or in part, in the state of Minnesota. We've hosted studio films like Grumpy Old Men (1993) and A Prairie Home Companion (2005) as well as many independent productions, often produced and directed by members of our vibrant film community. Visit our Filmography to see a timeline of movies made in our state throughout the years.

Television production in Minnesota continues to thrive. Our state is home to production companies making top-rated shows for cable networks about everything from home renovation to bizarre foods to great out-of-the-way places to dine throughout the U.S. View our TV-ography to see a list of shows currently in production and those from past decades.
