What Was This Netflix & Amazon Director Doing in Northern Minnesota?
Generally in flyover country, we typically, don't see the bright lights of Hollywood very often. Typically. This week a TV Producer, Movie Director, and Streaming Service Director appeared in Grand Rapids, and there are plenty of people who aren't sure why he is visiting.
Seth Gordon, who has had a hand in some very successful shows and movies, was in Grand Rapids earlier this week, and I don't think it was to donate or volunteer to Northern Minnesota's Longest Holiday Light Drive-Thru. So what was he in town for? That still seems to be a mystery, but one Northern Minnesota business had enough of a heads-up that they shouted him out on their signage.
Seeing this on social media, I decided to see what the Itascan Monitor had to say about the visit from Seth Gordon and friends, but I didn't really get the sense in what I saw that there was much to discuss, or report on yet. But there was a clue, Seth was in town to learn more about the theft and later recovery of the famous Ruby Red Slippers from the Wizard of Oz!
So will Seth be doing a documentary on the famous slippers? It seems right now it's all about having conversations, but I would think that a film/show on it would be something that LOTS of people would enjoy.
