Hosting a Film Production

Content

Film, commercial and television production is a billion dollar industry and provides tremendous financial benefits to communities across the Province. More than 35,000 BC residents are employed by the industry and Maple Ridge is well-known as a "film friendly" community. Businesses and home owners in Maple Ridge can also share in the revenues generated by filming in our community while helping to provide employment opportunities in BC. Many film companies are interested in filming in the businesses, homes and neighbourhoods in Maple Ridge, and property owners can typically earn between $500 and $1,500 per day, depending on the needs and complexity of the production.

Registering your property as a filming location is simple. The first step is to create a digital "photo file" of your property, a virtual tour in pictures, and to submit it to the BC Film Commission. The BC Film Commission holds your files and promotes each registered property to the film industry while protecting your right to privacy.

For more information on registering your property, please visit the BC Film Commission website.
