Coquitlam Coun. Craig Hodge said he toured studios in Burbank, Cali., last year with the city’s former economic development manager to find out what movie makers are wanting.

That was the message yesterday, Nov. 6, as the city’s council-in-committee heard from officials from Creative BC and Coquitlam’s acting manager of economic development.

Recently, Creative BC started a program called Reel Green with BC Hydro to incentivize B.C. communities and production teams to cut their environmental impacts by offering up to half of the electrical infrastructure costs for the design and installation of power kiosks.
