Winter is Coming - FILO Builds G.O.T Exhibit

On Thursday, November 24th a group of 10 FILO’s gathered in Chicago to help produce the Game of Thrones: Season 6 “Behind The Scenes” Exhibit in the historic Grant Park. This event let fans of all-ages immerse themselves in the magical world by participating in multiple iconic experiences that included virtual reality “Battle Training” at Castle Black, photo opportunities with the Iron Throne, and learning all about visual effects, props, and displays!

This free-admission event was open from 12-8pm on Saturday, November 26th and 11-5pm on Sunday, November 27th. Game of Thrones “Behind the Scenes” celebrated the release of GOT: Season 6 to DVD and Blu-Ray, which features a lot of content and action not previously seen before! HBO Home Entertainment has now hosted three separate “Behind the Scenes” Events; first in New York (Nov. 18-19), then Chicago (Nov. 25-26) and most recently in Los Angeles (Dec. 10-11).

FILO’s responsibilities included booking travel, hotel accommodations, labor management, load/unloading equipment, set-up and tear-down, including Castle Black, Winterfell, North of the Wall, Vaes Dothrak, and The Workshop. FILO looks forward to working with Square Design and Rubik Marketing in the future!

FILO Organizes the Union Depot Holiday Bake Sale

FILO Productions produced our second successful Holiday Bake Sale in partnership with The Union Depot of St. Paul on Saturday, December 10th. The event hosted 20 different bakeries from around the Twin Cities; 10 giftable food vendors that included homemade salsa, jams, and maple syrup; and 10 Lowertown Pop artisans who were selling their unique wares. A special gift bag was given out to all those that attended with a collectible train cookie cutter set. The event saw 3,000 people in attendance over the course of the day, as many people got to enjoy the tasty treats as well as get a head-start on their Holiday shopping.

A Holiday stage was active throughout the event featuring special guests: Alexis Thompson of My Talk 107.1, Stacy Williams of KSTP, and Stephanie March of MPLS/St. Paul Magazine My Dish talk radio. The stage also hosted singer Eryn Tvete and six of the bakeries in attendance, demonstrating everything from Russian Tea Cakes, to chocolate bark. The Holiday Bake Sale was a "sweet treat" for everyone this year and FILO Productions is looking forward to being a part of it again next year!
