The two-day rapid COVID-19 testing pilot at the Calgary airport is attracting attention from film and TV producers in Alberta and Hollywood. Should tests come back negative, travellers can leave quarantine as long as they remain in Alberta for the first 14 days. Those in the film industry say the short quarantine period could see Alberta become the next northern hot spot, but some say more might be needed to make that happen.

"The idea of Alberta becoming a production hub is amazing and something that so many of us in the industry really want to see happen."
