Lethbridge is known for being a logistics hub of the agri-food corridor in southern Alberta.

However, a multi-billion-dollar industry is also taking hold in the region.

“We’ve had productions like Billy the Kid, The Abandons recently came and filmed here. We had The Last of Us , of course,” said Ismail Okasha, film services support employee with the City of Lethbridge.

A new collaborative initiative between the city and Economic Development Lethbridge is aiming to boost the movie and video game industry in the area.

“We want to make it as easy as possible for location managers and producers to come in and just book (locations),” said Okasha.

Screen Lethbridge, the name of the new project, is a tool that includes options for production companies to rent properties across the city.
