Canada Is New Favorite Location For Film Companies
The locations that American cinema favours seem to vary with every generation. There have been periods of obsession with Italy, Mexico, Europe and even the Far East, but now Canada is the producer’s location of choice it seems.
In last few years, Canadian-shot films have been doing pretty well. ‘The Terminal’ staring Tom Hanks and ‘Lucky Number Slevin’ with Josh Hartnett are among the best known, along with the very popular X-Men films, which are apparently soon to be revisited. Believe it or not in the last ten years alone, more than 2000 American productions (both TV and film) have taken place in Canada, and according to most experts in the industry, even more than that will happen in the next five.
A film called ‘White Out’ was recently shot in Canada and director Dominic Sena was questioned over the reasons why this location was chosen for the film. The plot is that a US Marshal Carrie Stetko (Kate Beckinsale) tracks a killer in Antarctica, as the sun is about to set for six months. Sena suggested that the biggest motivation for using Canada was that they could find terrain similar to that found in Antarctica, but close enough to civilization to make filming possible. Many producers share this like of the convenience of shooting in Canada, where they can still speak the same language as the locals and the systems for gaining shooting permissions are very similar, yet the settings are completely different to America.
Other industry experts have suggested that aside from the fact film crews like Canada holidays, many films are shot there because it is so close to America and so easily accessible, making it the perfect place to shoot film in fresh and new surroundings that have not previously been seen by the American public. Further more, shooting in Canadian locations is made cheaper by the weaker dollar there. In fact many scenes that could be shot on American soil, such as Alaska cruises footage, is actually shot in Canada due to the reduced production costs. If you fancy being part of the next big Canadian-shot film or just fancy Toronto holidays check out Canadian Sky.
