Place / British Columbia has the right experience, people, and infrastructure

The place to do business

British Columbia has earned a reputation as an international center for film and television production by offering highly skilled crews and talent, comprehensive infrastructure, and diverse urban and natural landscapes. We’re the third largest production center in North America and have strong links with studios in the USA and with producers in Europe and Asia. Our provincial and federal governments are highly supportive of the film industry and offer competitive, reliable and bankable incentive programs. BC's production companies are well established and produce content for both the domestic and international markets.

Versatile locations

Take advantage of BC’s unique shooting locations that offer nine different climate zones. Incorporate whatever a script demands: harsh Northern winters, vast desert plains, lush coastal rain forests, expansive oceanic scenes, and majestic mountains. BC’s interior region offers charming towns and villages, farms, ranches, and world-class vineyards. For urban settings, Vancouver offers gritty industrial scenes, quiet suburban neighborhoods, bustling multicultural markets, turn of the century architecture, and ultra modern office complexes.

A great place to live and work

The Economist magazine has rated Vancouver as the most livable city for past two years based on the city’s key strengths—stability, health care, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure. BC is also a low tax jurisdiction ranked by KPMG as having the lowest business costs amongst major international cities.
