Independant Film Studio

Located right in the heart of downtown Vancouver (where the 2010 Olympics are hosted). Its vibrant hotels, restaurants, nightclubs and transportation choices are just steps away. Local Independent film companies have an advantage to offer this great location to its pool of talent in Vancouver. For out-of-town production companies, the location is also great because of its close proximity to the airport (crews can go home on days off) and ability to offer higher end hotel choices close by if you have above-the-line talent.
