Filming locations in Montreal
Montreal is one of the largest audiovisual production centres in Canada.
Montreal shoots in both languages and draws local productions as well as international shoots. Crews are constantly looking for varied, authentic locations here, from a residential home to an industrial loft, usually for a few days at a time.

Why productions shoot in Montreal
Quebec’s tax credit, leading studios, and a bilingual talent pool make Montreal a North American hub. The city frequently doubles for European or American cities, which multiplies the need for real locations and the opportunities for owners.
