Reel Alberta: From Idea to Action

I’ve officially entered pre-production for Reel Alberta: The Untold Story of Film in Hollywood’s North!

This stage is all about laying the groundwork:

• Researching Alberta’s deep film history

• Building a master list of movies and TV shows shot here (from Hollywood blockbusters to hidden gems)

• Reaching out to filmmakers, actors, and crew for potential interviews

• Securing access to historic filming locations

The story of Alberta on screen is bigger than even I expected—every corner of our province has been a backdrop for unforgettable stories. By carefully planning shot lists, scouting locations, and shaping the script, we’re making sure this film is both historically accurate and visually stunning.

We’re also starting to reach out to local communities, film commissions, and archives—because this project is as much about preserving history as it is about telling it.

Stay tuned—next, we’ll be moving from research into scheduling our first shoots on location!
