Great Drinks, Even Better Connections
Join us for a special edition of Hygge Happy Hour as we kick off our BARN Business Mixer series—taking place every first Thursday of the month! This series highlights entrepreneurs, innovators, and creatives with Nordic connections, offering a space to network and exchange ideas.
This month, we are thrilled to welcome Norwegian writer and director Camilla Roman, who is currently in Minnesota scouting locations for her upcoming feature film, Where the Water Runs Deep—a gripping crime and family drama set in the state. Camilla, an accomplished filmmaker with international recognition, will share insights into her creative journey, the film’s development process, and her experiences working across Norway and Hollywood. The program will run from 5:00PM through 7:30PM, with registration optional but appreciated.
Special Thanks to Our BARN Sponsors:
