Established in 1978, the British Columbia Film Commission was a branch of the provincial government working to ensure that the business of film and television production thrives as a value proposition for our domestic and international clientele. The British Columbia Film Commission Production Statistics 2011 contains aggregate totals of various types of domestic and foreign productions, total budget, and total budget allocation spent in BC. The BC Film Commission joined CreativeBC in 2013, and was no longer part of the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.
