The Natural Place to Film

Only a quick two hour flight from Hollywood, USA, there's a reason why the Greater Vancouver region is the third largest film production area in North America.  Located outside Vancouver's "studio zone", production companies that film in Pitt Meadows are eligible for the BC Film Tax Credit.

The City of Pitt Meadows offers a wide range of filming locations.  From the pristine waters of North America's largest tidal lake to a fast paced urban centre with a unique heritage area, this small yet progressive community boasts an astonishing array of locations.   The growing film industry brings jobs and revenue to the city benefiting our community as a whole.  Not to mention the positive impact on local businesses who are serving and meeting the needs of large production companies and film crews.  Ever considered having your property in a motion picture?  Apply with Creative BC to have your home listed as a possible location.
