PRINCE GEORGE – Lights, camera, action, three words that will be heard here in Prince George as soon as the end of the month.
Local Barker Street Cinema announced the city will be the site of a feature film called ‘A Great North Christmas’.
The film is the first in a series as Producer Norm Coyne is hopeful this will be the first of many big productions brought to the region.
The production team will commence pre-production in February and will film through to mid-March in various locations throughout the City and surrounding areas with the entire film shot locally.
This is the first major picture brought to the region in over a decade, Norm Coyne says he’s excited by the news and hopeful this can help showcase the many things Prince George and Northern BC have to offer.
Coyne will produce the film, with James Douglas directing as local entrepreneurs and film industry champions Cameron and Tammy Thun have partnered in the production and will executive produce the project alongside the team.
“We are proud to be from Prince George and want to share our city with the world.” said the Thuns in a joint statement. “Being in a position to do our part to bring film productions to the City, which adds to the local economy, means the world to us.”
Locations for ‘A Great North Christmas’ are yet to be finalized but will include some business storefronts, homes, and wintery scenes in Prince George.
