We look a little different and sound a little different – because we are! Weβre dedicated to experimentation, creativity, and distinctiveness.

Major label, indie label, or no label – if it’s good and it rocks – we’ll play it!
When talking about a magical place, Vancouver can certainly be one of them. The city isn’t Hollywood, but it’s impressive how it plays the same role as the studios there. Vancouver becomes New York, becomes a zombie apocalypse, becomes a dystopia without much effort. That’s why hundreds of movies and series that you watch at home are filmed here, and you didn’t even know about most of them. Well then, stop here now and discover 4 movies and series that were filmed in Vancouver.
A relatively new movie, it seems like it was released yesterday, but it was in 2022. It’s a Netflix original movie and stars Ryan Reynolds, who, in case you didn’t know, is Canadian, born in Vancouver. The movie has a futuristic aesthetic, with a clean city full of nature. Places like the Convention Centre West, Jack Poole Plaza, and the Blarney Stone Bar were used as locations to film the movie.
Many people probably already know this one, but there’s always someone a little lost who doesn’t know that the Deadpool movies were filmed in Vancouver. And once again, our Canadian is here, Ryan Reynolds strikes again. We can understand that he loves filming in his hometown. I don’t judge, I think I would do the same. The Georgia Viaduct is where one of the most iconic Deadpool scenes takes place, full of explosions, cars flying everywhere, lots of fighting, and all of this in our city.
This series doesn’t have much of a big city feel, but even so, it was filmed almost entirely in Vancouver. Or rather, in the outskirts of Vancouver, cities like Maple Ridge and Mission. There it’s easier to have more forests, fog, houses without that modern look, in other words, the perfect filming location for a suspense and mystery series.
The series about a young autistic doctor who works at a hospital called San Jose St. Bonaventure takes place in San Jose, California, but incredibly, the series isn’t filmed in California, but in Surrey. In this show, it’s easy to understand how Vancouver can change in the blink of an eye, appearing one way one day and being something completely different the next.
In the end, Vancouver is versatile, and it’s the setting for many of our favorite stories. And if you pay close attention, even when playing the role of another city, you can find the essence of Vancouver, like a pedestrian traffic light that’s impossible not to recognize, or a street you walk every day to go to work.
It’s truly magical to live in Vancouver.
