Filmmaking in Calgary gets on the map with location of the year award

Calgary’s film and television industry has another win to celebrate.

After a banner year in productions that included marquee projects like HBO’s The Last of Us, the Fraggle Rock reboot and the 17th season of CBC’s Heartland, a trio of standing sets won the Location of the Year Award at the Global Production Awards in Cannes, France.

According to Screen Daily, one judge said the Calgary-area locations “provided decades of filmmakers with a rock-solid filmmaking venue, bringing a high level of production support in a stunning natural setting.”

Azevedo said the Alberta contingent immediately got interest from a cohort of producers and executives that aren’t usually found in Los Angeles or New York.
