Move over, Hollywood.
Calgary has been named a blockbuster city for those who make film and television.
The city made MovieMaker Magazine's list of best places to live and work as a filmmaker in 2022, placing 10th among 25 big cities in North America.
Cities are ranked by production spending, tax incentives, recent productions and personal visits.
Calgary offers stunning backgrounds of mountains and lakes, wheat fields and urban centres, but screen time for Alberta's photographic vistas might not have been possible if the provincial government had not removed the funding cap for projects last year.
That cap limited film and television productions to a maximum $10-million tax credit claim.
