Iconic Film Locations in the BC Interior Through the Eyes of a Film Scout

The Thompson-Nicola Regional District, a 3.5 hour drive from Vancouver, British Columbia is an area the size of Denmark with topography as varied as the productions that film here. From feature films (Jurassic World: Dominion) to TV Series (Stephen King’s The Stand, Van Helsing, Resident Alien), Movie of the Week and Commercials (KIA, Subaru, Toyota, Chevy, KOHLS) you will see why this region is such a draw.

Our desert landscapes double as Nevada, Mexico, Afghanistan and Tibet.

And are equally as beautiful and accessible in winter as in summer.

Our grasslands, towns and ranches scream Western. As one director exclaimed, “The only thing missing in these hills is John Wayne.”

And check out these bends and stretches of road that run clear into the horizon!

If that’s not enough, the sunrises and sunsets are simply out of this world.

While deserts are a huge draw for the region, there are mountains, rivers, lakes, valleys, waterfalls, small towns and cityscapes and home and land owners waiting to welcome your next film. You are sure to find everything you are looking for in the vast, open lands of the Thompson-Nicola Film Region.
