If this Industry Matters to You, it’s Time to Show Up.

Why Now?

The upcoming legislative session is short and consequential, but the work happens year ‘round.

Minnesota already has incentive dollars allocated, but outdated rules are preventing that money from turning into real projects. The decisions made in the next session will determine whether those dollars activate Minnesota crews and vendors or continue to go unused while projects leave the state.

We must move forward. Together.

What Your Membership Helps Change

Your support would directly strengthen the Alliance’s ability to push for:

• Competitive incentive percentages

• Lower minimum spend thresholds

• Rules that reflect how projects are actually financed today

Where Your Membership Money Goes

  • Professional lobbying and direct engagement with lawmakers during the legislative session.

  • Briefs, presentations, and materials designed to explain how production actually works and why certain rules matter.

  • Coordination with sponsors, labor unions, production companies, vendors, and allied organizations to present a unified position.

  • Clear messaging about the economic and workforce impact of film, television, and commercial production across Minnesota.

  • Staff time and infrastructure that allow the Alliance to respond quickly when opportunities arise during session.

  • The Minnesota Film Alliance does not fund individual productions, offer grants, or function as a film office. Our role is to change the rules that determine whether work can land here at all.

If this industry is part of your life, this is part of the responsibility.
