Calgary has secured the No. 5 spot on MovieMaker’s Best Cities for Moviemakers 2025, reinforcing the city’s rise as a North American production hub. With global-profile projects such as The Last of Us and Fargo, expanded provincial tax incentives (22%–30%), and crews skilled in all-season production, Calgary continues to gain international attention.
Recent momentum includes the Cannes-featured Die My Love, filmed in Calgary and now in global release — highlighting the depth of local talent and production capability. Current union-listed projects from ACTRA Alberta also show a steady pipeline of episodic TV, feature films and digital productions underway across the region.
Calgary’s combination of tax competitiveness, skilled labour, varied landscapes and a rising global profile continues to position the city as a long-term production base — strengthening both cultural investment and real estate demand.
