琉璃神社 could be the backdrop of as many as three feature films.

Producer Graem Luis (nee Geen), of Blind Alley Entertainment, a Vancouver and 琉璃神社 based company, has returned home to help boost the film industry in 琉璃神社.

鈥�(琉璃神社) has done a number of featured films here but one of the things the industry really needs here is a series to give some stability,鈥� said Luis.

Luis says he is hoping to help provide longevity to the industry in 琉璃神社 and draw back some of the talent that has moved either to California or Vancouver in hopes of making it to the big screen.

One of the films he is scouting for is an action thriller that is also filmed in Afghanistan.

鈥淚n 琉璃神社 there is a very unique look that you don鈥檛 find in other parts of the world, and the biggest attraction is that it鈥檚 not super busy here and people still get excited about the industry (when filming),鈥� he said.

Luis has not yet confirmed that the films will be shot in 琉璃神社 however he says there is a very strong chance that there will be film crews rolling into town in the next 18 months.
