Host a Film Production

Filming in Your Neighbourhood

Richmond is a popular location for film production. Your patience and understanding when crews are filming in your area is appreciated. 

Every production company working in British Columbia is required to notify neighbours of their intentions to film. The Locations Manager is the producer's representative who is responsible to communicate with the community. The letter you received should have the name and phone number of the Location Manager or Assistant Location Manager. Please contact them first to see if your issues can be resolved by them. If you still have concerns, please contact the Richmond Film Office.

You can find a list of productions filming in BC by visiting Creative BC's website to view the Film List .

Economic Benefits of Filming

The film industry employs thousands of British Columbians and creates business opportunities in our community. Direct spending in 2012 by the film industry in BC was 1.2 billion dollars. In addition, the portion of those dollars spent in our community were re-circulated, creating employment in other sectors and multiplying the financial benefit we receive by attracting film productions to Richmond.
