Minnesota Made Movie Earns Great Reviews

Joe Keery, known for his role as Steve Harrington in the show Stranger Things, takes the lead role in the film Marmalade, produced by Signature Films and shot in Hastings, Stillwater, and Jordan, Minnesota.

Why choose Minnesota? Anne Healy, the movie's production manager, is a fan of the Northstar state. Her IMDB credits reveal her involvement in several other Minnesota-based movies, including Grumpier Old Men, Jingle All The Way, and Mighty Ducks.

Plot of Marmalade:

Locked in his prison cell, small-town simpleton Baron shares a tale with his cellmate Otis about his rebellious girlfriend Marmalade, recounting a bank heist they committed together. Upon discovering the stolen cash, Otis agrees to assist in planning an escape to reunite Baron with his true love. Unbeknownst to them, a master puppeteer is orchestrating events, manipulating them all.

The film has garnered a 77% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and an 88% approval from audiences. Marmalade is now available for rental at $6.99 on Amazon Prime, YouTube, and Apple TV.
