Stupid decision on Parks Canada's part. Really stupid. We have a mediocre film industry here, with the worst incentives across Canada, with a brand new, mostly unused film centre and we're turning away a film?
A film?
If this was some pron film or remake of Triumph of the Will then sure...but way to shoot ourselves in the foot. This is the kind of decision that sends producers looking at B.C. or other provinces.
Investment from the provincial government through tax breaks is a 3:1 investment...it makes money for the province via dollars crews, producers, and taxes inject into the system.
