It becomes like a super-movie in terms of budget, time, and crew.
“They’re not on a seasonal pilot system they already have a green light, so they film all the episodes in a season at once.

New online channels such as Amazon and Netflix have flipped things around as far as the shooting of TV series goes, says Weller.
Here, the liquor store becomes a gun shop. She adds, however, that attracting productions depends on the locations required by the scripts, and whether the TNRD can supply those locations.Īshcroft stood in for Ishawooa, Wyoming in the 2005 film ‘An Unfinished Life’, meaning several area stores had to have an American makeover. She anticipates that a new Kelowna studio would spur more productions to extend their shooting days in the region, thus attracting more film and TV work to the TNRD. Weller says that filming more than 50 per cent of a production in the region has always been a challenge for studios, given the lack of studio space in the area.

The studio’s Burnaby facility is in full production with the Amazon TV series The Man in the High Castle, an Emmy-winning show that is in its third season at the site. The property was purchased in 2016, with plans to open the facility in 2017. studios are primarily based in Vancouver and Burnaby.”Įarlier this month it was announced that Eagle Creek Studio, based out of Burnaby, is to launch a full service, purpose-built soundstage facility in Kelowna. Often productions limit their days shooting in the regions because the majority of the film needs to take place in a studio. “But in order to qualify for the distant regional tax credit, more than 50 per cent of the production must be filmed in the regions. “We have a lot of exterior work done here, particularly in the spring and fall but that depends on the script,” says Victoria Weller, film commissioner for the Thompson-Nicola Film Commission. However, if a new film studio goes ahead in Kelowna, it could present many more opportunities for the region to benefit from productions coming to the area to film. There’s also a supposedly fearsome bear - I think he represents the roar in every man - who, through no fault of his own, suffers greatly in comparison with the magnetism of the killers in Werner Herzog’s Grizzly Man.The area around Ashcroft, Cache Creek, Spences Bridge, Kamloops, and the Nicola Valley has long been popular with filmmakers and TV companies, largely for the spectacular scenery and locations the area has to offer. There’s tension between Einar and Jean, tension between Jean and her abusive ex (a thanklessly focused Damian Lewis), bonding between the granddaughter and Einar, and marital-style bickering between Einar and Mitch.
(She looks ready to cut a pop album if cajoled.) So that the young can teach the old, Jean totes a granddaughter (newcomer Becca Gardner) Einar never knew he had, one of those brave Pippi Longstocking types so in vogue. Hallström’s kinder, gloppier interpretation favors more golden Hollywood key-lighting to tell the story of Einar Gilkyson (a stubbled Redford, muttering to himself), an ornery coot intractably bitter over the death of his son his maimed hired hand and best friend, Mitch (Freeman) and Jean (Lopez), his widowed daughter-in-law with lousy taste in boyfriends, who shows up at Einar’s remote Wyoming ranch seeking refuge, black-and-blue but nevertheless well coiffed. Spragg’s novel perches somewhere between a John Irving fantasia and a Jim Harrison tussle in which guilty men come to terms with their angry inner animal and women pick themselves off the ground where they’ve been knocked by some lout.
