Filmed in Chilliwack
Chilliwack BC is turning into an extension of Hollywood North, and we could not be happier. This friendly community of 85,000 just 100 km from downtown Vancouver welcomes film projects with easy approvals, accommodating residents, and diverse locations that can stand in for nearly anywhere. Check out this short video about film in Chilliwack:
As a smaller community with diverse architecture, Chilliwack can stand in for locations as diverse as the Hamptons or Nevada.
Chilliwack is close enough to the Zone to be practical, yet in an area where substantial tax credits are available for stepping outside the Zone. Lower permit costs, lower cost of goods and labor than in the big city, and the lack of a “hassle factor”” combine to make Chilliwack a very cost effective place to do film projects.
You’ve seen Chilliwack on TV and the big screen already, because all these projects have been filmed in Chilliwack.
