Vancouver, also referred to as “Hollywood North,” has long been a magnet for filmmakers and “runaway” Hollywood TV productions seeking financial advantages, diverse locations, a sophisticated technical infrastructure, and a talented workforce.
Major studios were developed in the greater Vancouver area in the late 1980s, and the government of British Columbia began providing industry incentives in 1998. Today, British Columbia accounts for approximately 60 percent of all foreign-location film and TV production in Canada, and total direct and indirect full-time equivalent jobs generated by film and TV production are estimated at more than 36,000.
