BRITISH COLUMBIA
A LEADING CREATIVE HUB
British Columbia features a creative cluster of world-class
film, television, visual effects, animation, and post-production
companies. With the right mix of technology and talent,
British Columbia has earned its reputation as one of the
world’s leading creative media centres.
“We were looking to expand based on the great talent pool that’s in Vancouver,
which is at a very high level.”
Greg Grusby, Industrial Light and Magic
Our thriving creative industries include everything
from writing, casting, production, post-production,
and distribution of films to animation and visual effects.
A rich pool of creative talent can support major
feature-length projects — both on screen and online.
As an established industry with strong links to
Hollywood and other entertainment centres, our
creative industry has a deep well of talent, research,
and training.
If your business requires creative media or innovative
companies developing leading-edge entertainment
technology, British Columbia is the right place to be
— it’s where creative opportunities can take off.

that generates outstanding productions and wins
international awards for its innovation and quality.

efficient and convenient working relationships during
business hours.

Thriving creative nexus
British Columbia’s film, television, and animation
producers enjoy strong relationships with other
industries. This fuels a collaborative and open-minded
approach to projects, resulting in innovative, marketleading productions.
Business advantages
British Columbia’s business climate is good for the
bottom line, with one of the lowest corporate tax rates
in the G7, no provincial payroll taxes or corporate capital
tax, and the lowest personal income tax in Canada for
individuals earning up to $122,000. British Columbia
welcomes the creative industries with a variety of
special tax credits and incentives.
Liveability
Our welcoming cities and communities are one of the
main reasons that British Columbia is a global magnet
for the world’s top talent.
Vancouver is instantly recognizable for its spectacular
location: a city on the ocean with majestic mountains
just 20 minutes to the north. Chosen by the Financial
Times’ fDi Magazine as the top large city in the Americas
and the third most livable city in the world by the
Economist Intelligence Unit in 2015, Vancouver is also
consistently rated a top destination for travelers.
Other cities and towns in British Columbia have their
own distinct character and demographics. No matter
where you live, you will find safe, clean, and welcoming
communities.
“British Columbia has a highly skilled workforce and excellent infrastructure, on
the same time zone as Hollywood but with a lower cost base. It is a great place to live,
with spectacular scenery on the doorstep, and a great cultural scene. An influx of bright
young programmers, gamers, special effects creators, and animators has been attracted
to this new creative hub.”
Liz Shorten, Managing Vice President, Canadian Media Production Association (CMPA)

and innovation. The Province of British Columbia offers two tax credit programs to stimulate film and television: the

Based on B.C. tax credit certificates issued during
2014/15, production companies spent approximately
$2 billion on a total of 287 domestic and international
productions. British Columbia has the locations, the
facilities, and — most importantly — the people to bring
it all to life. With skilled crews, technicians, and creative
experts, British Columbia’s extensive talent pool is the
foundation of a thriving industry sector.
British Columbia’s film and television production sector
has matured over several decades to become a vibrant
and important part of the west coast entertainment
world. A favourable tax structure, an experienced and
committed crew base, and a tradition of support and
cooperation among business, government, labour, and

BRITISH COLUMBIA FILMMAKERS
RECOGNIZED FOR OSCARS AND EMMYS
British Columbia has earned an international
reputation for the quality of its filmmaking, digital
animation, visual effects, and post-production. Many
of our industry members have been nominated for,
and received, such prestigious awards as Oscars for
outstanding motion picture production and Emmys
for outstanding television production.
The 2015 Oscars saw two B.C. artists receive
nominations for “Best Visual Effects.” These included,
Pitt Meadows, B.C. native Cameron Waldbauer, who
was nominated for for his work as a special effects
supervisor on X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Nicolas Aithadi, was one of four people in the team
nominated for their work creating the loveable Groot
character for Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy.
Aithadi works for Yaletown’s MPC Vancouver and this
will be his second Academy Award nomination as he
was previously nominated for 2010’s Harry Potter and
the Deathly Hallows Part 1.
“The fact that we had two special effects from
Vancouver representing the top 10 films in the world
— that says a lot,” Walbauer said.
A Vancouver mathematician, Robert Bridson, won an
Academy Award in 2015 in the scientific and technical
category for his work that enabled thrilling scenes in
movies including The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
and Avatar.
A team from MPC Vancouver also won the visual effects
Oscar in 2013 for Ang Le’s film Life of Pi.
B.C. has also received numerous Emmy nominations
and awards. Three Vancouver VFX Studios were
nominated for Emmys in 2014 for Outstanding Special
and Visual Effects including Scanline VFX for their work
in creating the computer generated White Walkers in
Game of Thrones and Artifex and Zoic for their work on
the FOX series Almost Human.
