The City of Lethbridge is attempting to promote itself as a prime filming destination for major movie and TV projects.
Screen Lethbridge is a collaborative project to promote the city and region for big name film production companies and lift up local filmmakers in the process.
The City says the productions of Ghostbusters Afterlife and HBO’s The Last of Us which were primarily filmed in southern Alberta brought widespread economic success. And the city wants a part of the momentum of showing off the region’s beauty and untapped potential.
HBO’s The Last of Us contributed over 183 million dollars to the provinces’ GDP and created around 1,500 jobs after it was filmed throughout the province in 2021 and 2022.
