Film in Vancouver, BC
Vancouver, BC Film Scene
You don't have to move to New York or LA to have a vibrant film career. Vancouver, BC has also become a power player in the film and television industries.
Vancouver hasn't always been the hub of film production and postproduction that it is today. Nevertheless, it has been a part of the film industry since 1913, and over the years, it's been growing.
In 1978, the film and television industries spent roughly $12 million in Vancouver. By 2000, that figure rose to $1.18 billion. With that kind of growth, it's not surprising that Vancouver is currently the third largest film industry site in North America.
As a center for both filming and postproduction, Vancouver has many advantages to offer. There are state-of-the-art facilities, a workforce of about 30,000 people and, because the US dollar stretches farther in Canada, economic benefits to US-based film studios.
