"Vancouver, British Columbia is the third largest film production area in North America. This growth has lead the Canadian Government to introduce tax incentives for production outside of the lower mainland and the Vancouver area. The southwest tip of Vancouver Island is primed to become the film production place to take advantage of this tax break.
On this site you'll find information and resources for productions of any type. This is an open website with links to Film Commissions, Associations, Societies and Councils throughout BC.
This site is located on Vancouver Island, a member of the Vancouver Island Film Association (VIFA). It has extensive listings for: Victoria, Metchosin, Langford, Esquimalt and Sooke. This area has a populace with high technical capabilities in the fields of animation, pre and post production. Add to this the "best weather in the world" and it makes Sooke and surrounding areas of Vancouver Island some of the most spectacular locations on earth!"
