About Western Filmmaker
Western Filmmaker helps film and television production professionals find the businesses that supply the goods and services their productions need.
We publish a print directory every spring and fall, and keep an online directory updated between editions.
01 · Our story
A Directory Built for Western Canada's Film Industry
Western Filmmaker has served the film and television industry in British Columbia and Alberta since 2000.
It is a semi-annual directory of the goods and services available to productions. Listings are organised by business category and name the companies and individuals that provide equipment and services, so production teams can quickly find the help they need.
The aim has stayed simple: make it easier for productions to find local suppliers, and for those suppliers to be found.

The Publication and Online Directory
The print directory
Published twice a year in Spring & Summer and Fall & Winter editions, the high-gloss guide gives productions a reference they can keep on hand for the six months each edition is in use.
The online directory
Online, every advertiser has its own listing, and visitors can browse by service category or by city and region. The online directory is updated regularly between print editions.
The digital issue opens in a new tab.

Finding the Right Supplier, Faster
