Canada is increasingly becoming known as "Hollywood North," as a growing number of films and television programs are being filmed across the country. The international film industry is taking notice of our broad-range of locations, including breath-taking natural settings, modern urban cities along with a wide array of seasonal climates. They are also increasingly taking advantage of our strength in post production, computer graphics, sound studios and generous incentives to ensure that their films are done professionally, on time, on budget. We are pleased to invite you to hear more about why Canada is a world-class filming location and co-production partner.
