Film industry continues to grow in Grande Prairie area
Some new developments within the Peace Region Independent Media Arts Association (PRIMAA) are a sign that the film industry continues to grow in the Grande Prairie area.
The organization recently obtained affordable rental space downtown where they will be starting to offer gear rentals.
Board member Chris Beauchamp says both of those have been goals of the group since starting up five years ago.
“We are excited we will have it up and running this month in time for some groups to rent for the Frantic 48 challenges this month. Our focus for getting the rental program off the ground was on basic film equipment like lighting and grip gear. This will help local producers elevate the quality of their productions,” said Beauchamp following a Tuesday presentation to a city committee.
