About Us

Blackrock Films (BRF) is an innovative distribution and production company that distributes and produces high quality independent film and made for television productions for worldwide distribution. In addition to distribution, developing and producing in house productions, the company is well positioned to offer a wide range of financial, production and creative services to its production partners all over the world including Canada.

 

With offices in Vancouver, Blackrock Films specializes in providing a full range of services to both the film and television industries. Including Post Production and VFX studio that place BRF in a  unique position within the Canadian industry allows it to partner with outside producers and provide considerable cost savings. British Columbia has recently renewed its refundable tax credit program. Under the Production Services program, the basic rate is 25% of B.C. based labor costs for filming in Vancouver's "Studio" zone. Filming beyond the zone, Producers can qualify for additional regional credits of up to 12%. Combined with the federal credit, overall savings of up to 47% of the labor expenditures are possible. Productions that qualify as Canadian content may apply for provincial and federal credits on eligible qualified labor of up to 78%. * These savings - when combined with exchange rate gains, British Columbia's lower wages, flexible work rules and fringe rates, and the company's considerable internal efficiencies - allow Blackrock Films to provide consistent savings over any other location in North America including our local competitors.
