It makes cents to shoot in Alberta. Your savings begin with no provincial sales tax, add to that the lower cost for most services than you'll find elsewhere, from crew rates to accommodation, lumber to groceries, and you know that we're looking out for your bottom line.

The Alberta Film Development Program
The Alberta Film Development Program offers a flexible program able to accommodate a broad range of needs for both local and guest productions. It is easy to understand, simple to apply and highly competitive.

Make Alberta the location for your project to ensure a quality production, produced on time and on budget. It may be the spectacular locations that lure you, or perhaps the cost savings; put our top-notch crews and services into the mix, and the package is complete.

For more information, please contact Jeff Brinton, Film Commissioner, at 780.422.8584 or Jeff.brinton@gov.ab.ca

Alberta rebates are second to none in Canada. On top of that, Alberta has a really good crew and equipment base, a great ‘anywhere USA’ city feel plus gorgeous countryside, only one hour of time difference and a manageable flight from LA and, most importantly, you’re really nice people! ‘Affordable, accessible, affable and professional'.
