Peter Mitchell is Director of British Columbia Film Commission in Vancouver. He describes how the Commission tries to attract the film business to Vancouver. If a film producer in the US, for example, has a project and is searching for suitable locations he might send the film scripts to Vancouver. The Commission will then try to match the locations in the script to locations in British Columbia. If the producer and the director like what the Commission can offer they will come to British Columbia and look the locations themselves. If everything goes well, the film will be shot in Canada.
