Former Northwestern Energy building in Butte, Montana getting facelift, becoming film production studio for Montana Studios

The old facade of the former Northwestern Energy building is coming down. It’s a sign of change by a film production company that’s moving in, and it hopes to embrace a new industry of arts and entertainment in the Mining City.

“You know, as long as things keep moving in the direction they have been over the last couple of years, I really think, not just Butte, but the entire state of Montana is really set up to be a major film hub for the country, really,” said Montana Studios CEO Steve Grover.
