Alberta isn't the first place that comes to mind when you think of the film industry, but the provincial government wants to change that. Jobs, Economy and Innovation Minister Doug Schweitzer has already had several meetings with studios and production teams — and those conversations are continuing. Those negotiations also involve Alberta Film, which is part of the government. "The GOA (Government of Alberta) has received very positive feedback from the film and television sector about the pilot," Schweitzer's office said. Last year, the UCP government cut the pre-existing NDP film tax credit from 30 per cent to 22 per cent.
