A whopping seventy-seven percent of Americans went to at least one movie in person last year. With a fifteen percent uptick in cinema loyalty programs as of late, and 115 wide releases set for 2026, the movie business is really having a moment. That is especially true here in our neck of the woods, something that can be attributed to the Upper Midwest Film Office. Today, they are the only nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing jobs and economic impact to the region through media creation, aiding filmmakers every step of the way, from providing incentive administration to connecting producers with local vendors to helping overcome production challenges that pop up. In fact, connecting filmmakers to the community has been their specialty since 1955, aiming in the decades since to advance the regional economy by promoting increased media production across the northern part of the state, helping make the magic of cinema happen in the smoothest way possible. With the Upper Midwest Film Office at the forefront of northern Minnesota's booming film industry, the future is brighter than an Academy Award. One key member of the team is Riki McManus, the Chief Production Officer. It's the perfect role for her, pun intended, and she has the resume to prove it, working in the film and broadcast industry for the entirety of her career. Now, she's taking us behind the scenes to see just what it takes to make a movie, and that, as they say, is show business.
