I can't believe al those movies I "thought" were in Alaska,weren't! It's pretty disingenuous (and disappointing). Best of luck with the TV series, and I hope it goes national so we can all root for you and Kate in our livingrooms!Aaron Paul Lazarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117814221437165664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001825743960552008.post-32694249981853169452009-11-30T16:35:12.050-05:002009-11-30T16:35:12.050-05:00@Joylene There is so much filmed in Canada because...@Joylene There is so much filmed in Canada because Canada has long got it together in re film incentives, plus they've got their unions under control.

LOL<br /><br />Many congratulations on holding out, and because of your will, being able to pioneer the movie trade in Alaska. How exciting! I wish you all the best.s.w. vaughnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102544611773720262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001825743960552008.post-6656128216181238772009-11-30T12:38:53.452-05:002009-11-30T12:38:53.452-05:00Bet you're glad your parents brought up such a...Bet you're glad your parents brought up such a stubborn kid. lol. Bravo for you, Dana; you're a good example of what it means to stand up and be counted for. It kills me when I watch these NYC movies that are actually filmed in Toronto. Like we wouldn't notice? Especially those of us who are from Canada. <br /><br />Mystery Alaska was filmed in Canada too. So was Fringe, Dark Angel, X-Files, Supernatural, Tru Calling, Paycheck, Romeo Must Die, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Legends of the Fall, Along Came a Spider; the list goes on and on; most of these in Vancouver. My brother-in-law is a working Canadian actor, and my nephew works on various sets.<br /><br />It's only been the past few years that they're actually saying the cities are in Canada and the characters are Canadian. Great TV shows like Being Erica, Flashpoint,Durham County, The Border, and Intelligence... to name a few. <br /><br />I know how proud that makes me feel, so I can imagine what drove you to hold on to your dream. <br /><br />Wonderfully inspiring post, Dana.
