Ontario Records Best Year Ever in Film and TV Production
Monday March 14th 2016Ontario’s film and TV industry celebrated its best year ever in 2015, contributing $1.5 billion to the province’s economy and supporting almost 32,500 full-time direct and associated jobs.
Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport Michael Coteau was at Cinespace Film Studios to celebrate Ontario’s blockbuster year.
The record-breaking 2015 film and TV production statistics reinforce Ontario’s reputation as a world-class production centre, with:
– An increase of almost 4,500 full-time direct and associated jobs over the previous year
– The fifth consecutive year that film and TV productions supported by the province contributed more than one billion dollars to Ontario’s economy
– Domestic production numbers accounting for half of the total spending on film and TV
– An increase in foreign spending, led by a strong TV sector, of 52 per cent over the previous year, contributing $763 million to the province’s economy compared to about $503 million in 2014
– Work on award-winning TV productions including Murdoch Mysteries, and Academy Award® winning films Room and Spotlight occurring in Ontario.
Supporting a vibrant film and TV industry is part of the government’s economic plan to build Ontario up and deliver on its number-one priority to grow the economy and create jobs. The four-part plan includes investing in talent and skills, including helping more people get and create the jobs of the future by expanding access to high-quality college and university education. The plan is making the largest investment in public infrastructure in Ontario’s history and investing in a low-carbon economy driven by innovative, high-growth, export-oriented businesses. The plan is also helping working Ontarians achieve a more secure retirement.
Quick Facts
– Every $1 million of film and TV production in Ontario generates 21 full-time direct and associated jobs.
– Since 2003, the Ontario government has invested approximately $119 million in program support to the screen-based industries.
– Ontario is the number one film and TV production centre in Canada and the third largest by volume in North America, behind California and New York.
