Ever been winding your way along Lake Superior’s north shore, sun over your shoulder casting some movie-magic lighting? It really is the stuff movies are made of, and more filmmakers are starting to see it that way.
Max Selim, producer for the international film company 37th Degree, has pushed to bring the company to the north shore for a long time. A Minnesota native with family ties to the Iron Range and Duluth, Selim said childhood memories called him home to shoot a movie. “I always thought it was so beautiful and had such a good vibe and mood. I’m shocked that it is not one of the darling locations for Hollywood.”
