Film
The sobriquet "Hollywood North" has been applied to Vancouver; it hosts the production of approximately ten percent of Hollywood's movies. Many U.S. television and films series are shot exclusively in Vancouver. This is due to multiple factors, including being in the same time zone as Los Angeles, tax credits provided by the BC government, and the fact that in the city and its environments there are numerous "looks" that can make Vancouver seem like many different locations around the world. Today, Vancouver is North America's third largest producer of movies after Los Angeles and New York, and North America's second largest producer of television shows.

Famous quotes containing the word film:
“To read a newspaper for the first time is like coming into a film that has been on for an hour. Newspapers are like serials. To understand them you have to take knowledge to them; the knowledge that serves best is the knowledge provided by the newspaper itself.”
—V.S. (Vidiadhar Surajprasad)
