Kelowna 10
A new film studio in the city promises to pave the way for bigger and better movies and commercials to be shot in Kelowna.
Kelowna Film Studios is the only sound stage currently operating in the city and for founder and creative director, James Alton, this has been years in the making.
“Ever since I moved to Kelowna from Toronto, I’ve known that Kelowna has needed a film studio, it’s the only thing filmmakers talk about,” Alton told Kelowna10. “I’m a person that likes to do things, I don’t like to just sit around and talk about it, so I found the right people and that’s how we’re here today.”
