WINNNIPEG --
It’s been quiet on the set in Manitoba for the last two months but that’s about to change.
The province’s film industry has been green lighted to roll again with changes to code red restrictions coming Friday.
On Screen Manitoba is the association that represents the industry. It says crews operated safely last year between June and December with COVID-19 protocols in place.
Executive Director Nicole Matiation says people are eager to get going.
“Everyone is very keen to get back to work on set and in the production office,” said Matiation.
The timing could be crucial. Matiation says because other provinces did not shut down their film industries, people started to look for work elsewhere.
