MN Filmmaking on the Up

I would imagine that this a "chicken or the egg" scenario, but the Star Tribune claims the film industry is undergoing a "bubbling renaissance" in Minnesota. Much of that is due to the high profile pictures that are being shot here, however, I'd argue that much of the attention radiates from one film - the locally produced Sweetland. Check it out if you haven't.
