ABOUT US
We are a volunteer based group whose main goal is to have fun
in a creative environment in which we can grow in filmmaking and storytelling together.
We began as a small group of midwestern transplants who wanted to create films together and have since grown our network exponentially into the collaborative team we are today.
2024 marks Mini Mansion's first foray into theater with our play festival, Shes, Theys, & Plays.
