Sundram is expecting filming to start getting busier in the spring, especially since council updated the city’s filming policy in November last year, to allow filming in the South Bonson and Osprey Village area on a case by case basis.

A complete moratorium was put on filming in South Bonson in 2016 because of complaints about movie shoots that local residents and business owners said had a negative impact on the area.

In 2021, 100 film permits were issued by the city that generated more than $67,000 in revenue.
