Residents of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) have long known how popular the area is with filmmakers, with familiar towns, cities, and locations popping up in everything from car commercials to Hollywood blockbusters.
Now you can see just how popular the region is 91裸聊视频� and pinpoint productions filmed in your area 91裸聊视频� via the TNRD91裸聊视频檚 interactive Movie Locations Map. It91裸聊视频檚 a digital tool that showcases the many filming locations throughout the area over the years, highlighting the region91裸聊视频檚 rich history on film.
The map contains data from the TNRD91裸聊视频檚 Past Productions database, so that when you click on a link you can find details about the production, including whether locations are accessible to the public, and where to watch each film, show, music video, or commercial. The map will even tell you if the production can be borrowed through the Thompson-Nicola Regional Library.
The new map makes it easy for anyone 91裸聊视频� film enthusiasts, tourists, and locals 91裸聊视频� to see what was filmed, and where, within the TNRD. It builds on a previous film location map that was active for several years before being taken down about seven years ago.
91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檝e loved being able to bring the map back,91裸聊视频� says film commissioner Terri Hadwin of the Thompson-Nicola Film Commission. She explains that the previous map was closed down when the third party that hosted it started charging a bit more than the film commission wanted to pay.
91裸聊视频淚t was great when we had it before, but the technology has come along so much since we last hosted it. Now it looks clean and beautiful and easy to use, and we91裸聊视频檙e able to host it internally, so that91裸聊视频檚 saved us some money.91裸聊视频�
She adds that traffic to the new site has been busy since the map was reintroduced.
91裸聊视频淭ourism entities really missed it. Bringing it back is helpful from a visitor information hub perspective, but it91裸聊视频檚 also impactful when I speak with people in the film industry who ask what was filmed in our area. Plus it91裸聊视频檚 a great conversation piece, and very beautiful.91裸聊视频�
While many residents know about movies or TV shows filmed in their area, Hadwin says there have been many different commercials filmed throughout the region, particularly car ads. The film commission tries to stay on top of them, and asks when and where the ads are airing.
91裸聊视频淲e like to share them," she says. "The ads are usually made for TV, but many are also available on YouTube, so we like to collect that information so people can see them and see our beautiful locations.91裸聊视频�
Hadwin notes that a lot of the commercials, especially for cars, are often filmed in remote areas. 91裸聊视频淭hey91裸聊视频檙e not smack dab in a city, so unless you live in the area or they91裸聊视频檙e filming on your property you might not know. They91裸聊视频檙e usually only here for a day or two, so come and go quite quickly. If they91裸聊视频檙e filming on Crown or Indigenous land they need a permit, but if they have an agreement with a private property owner to film on a dirt road coming through their ranch there91裸聊视频檚 no permitting required.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 hearing from the media as much as anyone else that they had no idea such-and-such was filmed here,91裸聊视频� says Hadwin. 91裸聊视频淚 still haven91裸聊视频檛 seen every movie or TV series filmed in our area, as people have been filming here for more than 20 years.
