Get Real World Film Production Experience in Milwaukee
Milwaukee has significant connections to the film industry, having been home to a long list of actors (including Gene Wilder and Spencer Tracy), as well as filmmakers Will Zens, Jim Abrahams, and David and Jerry Zucker. Talk show host-turned-media mogul Oprah Winfrey also spent some of her childhood here.
Besides being home to numerous production companies, Milwaukee is regularly the site for location shoots for movies, TV shows, documentaries and specials. Some of the movies that have been filmed in the area include Public Enemies, The Blues Brothers, Dahmer, Major League and Transformers: The Dark Side of the Moon, to name a few. Among the TV shows or series that have done filming in Milwaukee are WWF Raw, and of course the classic sitcom Laverne & Shirley, whose main characters worked in one of Milwaukee’s breweries.
