At Capital Captions, we provide subtitling, captioning, translation and audio description services internationally.

With that in mind, we’ll also look at why Capital Captions might just be your best bet to fulfil your Canadian captioning requirements.

Recent years have seen a huge increase in Hollywood movies and popular US series being filmed in Canada. There are a number of reasons for this which can include:

  • Canada has many beautiful, open and empty landscapes which are perfect for filming western, wilderness or apocalyptic movies.
  • With many provinces offering tax incentives and the benefits of fluctuating exchange rates, Hollywood producers can get a lot of bang for their buck heading out to Canada.
  • Canada is an awesome country to take a holiday – be it skiing in the winter or wildlife spotting in the summer. Many directors are rumoured to purposefully film where they want to holiday, killing two birds with one stone, as it were.

Countless movies and American series have been filmed in Canada over the years. Calgary especially, has become a thriving hub for film and TV production, to the point where colleges such as Bow Valley are expanding courses offered to better cover media production services. With that in mind, here’s our top 5 list of our favourite filming locations in Canada over the years.
