MASTERMIND STUDIOS IS LOOKING FOR

 

Do you have a unique property in the Thompson-Nicola region that could be GREAT for a film location? Mastermind Studios is looking for a few VERY UNIQUE properties that it can include in our marketing efforts towards location scouts, directors, screen writers, and producers. We're looking for unusual things you just don't normally see. A great example might be a property with a private country road that belongs to the land owner with no restrictions on it. Another great example would be a property with a large open-span building with high ceilings that is at least 15,000 square feet. Let your imagination run wild and think about it from the perspective of what a movie might need and then, if you think you might have something we should look at, call Peter Cameron-Inglis at (250) 574-6902

ARE YOU LISTED IN THE LOCAL CREW DATABASE?
Get involved and help us grow our regions film industry!

 

Last year in BC over $3.4 Million was spent in the Province of BC to produce motion pictures. That's the equivalent of BC Lotteries GROSS revenues. But, this pales in comparison to what it could have been. Sadly B.C. loses far more in revenue than it makes because of the huge shortage of available facilities and crew to grow the industry. Many more productions are turned away than are filmed here because there are not enough local experienced crew. That's where you can come in. If you would like to make yourself available to volunteer or work as a local crew member on a local production please make sure you contact our local TNRD Film Commission. In some cases (union productions) you will need to have your basic Safety on Set and Motion Picture Orientation Certifications which you can obtain through Mastermind Studios at our next training program. Stay tuned for upcoming dates. To see if you are listed already in the crew database please click here.
