Frequently Asked Questions — Vancouver Crew
Why is Vancouver called 'Hollywood North'?
Vancouver hosts more film and TV productions than any other Canadian city, frequently standing in for US cities due to its versatile locations, favorable exchange rates, and generous tax incentives.
What are Vancouver's production incentives?
British Columbia offers a base 28% production services tax credit, with additional credits for labor and regional production, bringing combined incentives to 28-33%.
Can Vancouver crews handle outdoor adventure shoots?
Absolutely — Vancouver's proximity to mountains, forests, and coastal environments makes it ideal for outdoor and adventure productions. Our crews have extensive experience with location shoots in challenging terrain.
How does Vancouver's timezone work for US clients?
Vancouver is on Pacific Time (PT), the same timezone as Los Angeles. This makes real-time coordination seamless for West Coast clients and manageable for East Coast teams.
