Richmond Hill
Beautiful In Black & White
and In Colour
Richmond Hill is a community full of contradictions. While it’s home to
some of Canada’s major corporate headquarters and high-tech companies,
it also has a lovely historic downtown district, both perfect types of
locations for filming commercials, serial television programming and major
motion pictures.
Richmond Hill offers a number of exciting locations to suit production
needs. Styles of houses range from turn of the century heritage homes to
modern mansions. The geography ranges from pastoral rural countryside
and farmland vistas to modern business parks. As well, Richmond Hill has
a lush landscape of over 150 parks as well as protected glacial lakes and
conservation areas.
The community is an ideal site for film production. Located in the heart of
the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Richmond Hill boasts a strategic
location, less than 20 minutes away from Pearson International Airport
and within a half hour of the Toronto financial and theatre districts.
In Richmond Hill you will have access to a pool of top-quality creative and
technical talent. Some of the recent productions that have been filmed here
include The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio (starring Woody Harrelson,
Julianne Moore and Laura Dern), Killshot (starring Diane Lane, Mickey
Rourke and Johnny Knoxville), On The Run (the new HDTV show),
various music videos and commercials, to list a few.
Richmond Hill has a very positive approach to film production. Residents
and businesses are friendly and courteous and welcome the opportunity to
share their community with the world. The Richmond Hill Office of
Economic Development is here to facilitate your production needs.
Come visit Richmond Hill to see for yourself what many film producers
are rapidly discovering.
