You’ve likely seen Vancouver in your favourite movies and TV shows – even if you didn’t know it at the time. Whether classic family favourites, box office blockbusters or fantastical adventures, Vancouver is renowned for offering a wealth of camera-ready backgrounds. Chalk it up to lower production costs, close proximity to a range of available backdrops – sparkling ocean, sandy beaches, lush rainforests and soaring mountains, for starters – and a mild climate conducive to year-round shooting.
Whatever the case, Vancouver is critically acclaimed by movie producers, directors and celebrities alike. In fact, the city has a long history with celebrity lore, back since Gary Cooper hitched a ride to the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver on a passing street-cleaning machine.
