Headwaters Entertainment Promoting the production of compelling, commercial films that support economic development, create e Human history is a one long story full of stories.

At Headwaters Entertainment, we find and tell stories that resonate with the widest audience possible, stories of redemption and hope, stories of loss and grief, stories that allow us to process our own lives, or escape from the daily tedium of them. To be human is to tell stories. Storytelling is the very thing that makes us human. We believe that it’s time for Minnesota, time for the entire Midw

est to take control of our own narrative. To tell OUR OWN stories. It’s time for a resurgence of Midwestern filmmaking culture. It’s time for us to tell stories again.

This three day film project was shot in partnership with the Upper Midwest Film Office, Advanced Minnesota, the IRRRB, and The Minnesota Discovery Center.

This three day, hands-on training project was created by Headwaters Entertainment and the Upper Midwest Film Office, to give students the hands-on training and experience on a professional film set. With the amazing location and support of The Minnesota Discovery Center, we were given access to some incredible sets to help create this story.

JOIN US AGAIN October 15th-17th for another shoot!

Thank you to the cast and crew for all your hard work and support!

What an incredible experience this was!! Come join us again September 10-12th for another hands on film workshop. We explored a bit of our Iron Range heritage in the last workshop, the next will be a tale of revenge!

I'm so incredibly grateful for our cast and crew for putting so much of their love for the craft into this. Without them, this wouldn't have been possible! Thanks to the Upper Midwest Film Office for giving us the opportunity!

A very special thanks to the Minnesota Discovery Center for the amazing location and hospitality!

See you all on the next one!
