THE MIDWEST EXCHANGE
October 25 | 12:00–4:00 PM
Welcome to The Midwest Exchange—a curated marketplace where professional gear gets a second life, creative people get a chance to connect, and the Midwest filmmaking community comes together under one roof.
We’re bringing together a carefully selected group of vendors offering professional-grade cameras, lenses, production equipment, audio gear, accessories, and more—all pre-loved, well-maintained, and ready to get back to work. Every piece has a history. Every piece has another story to tell.
And because great gear is only part of the equation, Good Candy Films is joining us for the day. Ashland Thomas will be programming a special block of Halloween-themed film screenings, bringing a little cinematic weirdness, atmosphere, and seasonal fun to the exchange.
So come browse. Come bargain. Come talk shop. Come find that one piece of gear you didn’t know you needed until you saw it sitting there.
More than a marketplace, The Midwest Exchange is about keeping creative tools—and creative communities—in motion. Extending the life of equipment means less waste, more accessible resources for working creatives, and more opportunities for great tools to find their next project.
Whether you’re buying, selling, watching, wandering, or just curious, there’s something waiting for you.
Come for the gear. Stay for the films. Leave with something worth taking with you.
