Local film industry suffers minimal burns from wildfire season
KAMLOOPS — The summer wildfires hardly torched the local film industry.
Vicci Weller with the Thompson-Nicola Film Commission says this year’s revenue remains strong.
“We generally have about the same amount of revenue as years past so around two-million to three-million in revenue in terms of direct spending in the area.”
While the wildfires forced a few companies to cancel or delay production, Weller says others were lured to the area because of it.
