Whether you're looking for a location, planning a scout, crewing up for a commercial or shopping for incentives, the staff at the Minnesota Film and TV Board has the resources and experience to help get it done. We've been in business as a film commission since 1981, when we were established as a non-profit professional service organization. Our mission is to build and promote the state's moving image industry as a force for economic growth. And we believe the best way to accomplish that is one successful service request at a time.
We are one of the only film commissions in the U.S. that functions as a public/private partnership, meaning that our state appropriation must be matched by private contributions. A volunteer board of directors comprised of professionals from all segments of the Minnesota production industry supports our efforts and oversees our work, setting policy and approving our annual budget.
