With the five-month Hollywood strike over, Victoria’s film industry is optimistic that 2024 is going to make up for lost time and money.

The Vancouver Island South Film Commissioner Kathleen Gilbert is hopeful that 2024 will be another record breaking year of more than $50 million in direct spending.

Direct spending is money producers leave in the community. It includes wages paid to residents of the Captial Region District (CRD), money spent on rentals, hotels, meals, etc.
