TNRD green lights feasibility study for film studio in the region
KAMLOOPS — The film and TV industry is worth nearly $4 billion to the province’s economy annually. The TNRD Film Commission has worked hard to attract productions to our area and lately has seen a high level of success, with Jurassic World III and the Twilight Zone both wrapping production in the area before the pandemic hit.
Recently, the regional district board has given the green light to a study on the construction of a production studio in the region, hoping it may draw more crews to Kamloops and the surrounding areas.
Vancouver is the third largest hub for the production of film and television in North America. Annually, the city is home to around 65 movie productions and as many as 55 TV series, which employs thousands of British Columbians. Now, the TNRD is hoping to bring some more of that business into the interior.
