A historic centre in Metro Vancouver plays host to two popular film productions this week.
Cloverdale Business Improvement Association Executive Director Paul Orazietti shares numerous photos of film productions in and around the historic Surrey area, including recent shoots for a pair of popular TV series.
Photos Orazietti shared from a film set that kicked off early on Thursday, Sept. 19 feature several crew members and an old theatre with a movie titled I Used to Be Funny. He jokes that the comically titled feature is "his favourite movie" in a post on X, formerly Twitter (see slide two).
YVRShoots reports that the crew are filming an episode for season seven of Black Mirror. The company is using the working title "Haven Green" for the popular Netflix production.
Imdb.com describes Black Mirror as a series of "stand-alone dramas" that tap into "techno-paranoia" and the general unease people feel about modern society. Each series has a new set of characters, with big-name stars featuring everyone from Salma Hayek (Frida) to Jerome Flynn (Game of Thrones) to Bryce Dallas Howard (The Help).
Fire Country film set in Cloverdale features soaring props
Orazietti has also shared several photos from the set of the show Fire Country in Cloverdale.
The TV series is about a young convict who seeks redemption by joining an "unconventional prison release firefighting program in Northern California, where he and other inmates are partnered with elite firefighters to extinguish massive, unpredictable wildfires," according to Imdb.com.
Orazietti's snaps showcase everything from what appears to be a massive, inflatable mattress soaring high above a building to a sign for the Edgewater County Public Library in California to police and fire trucks.
Several crew members were also on top of buildings setting up the production (see slides three to eight).
