I have seen several B-grade or lower TV movies that were filmed in Ontario and Quebec. Are the "twin cities of Ottawa and Gatineau hot-spots for such fare? Maybe you have stumbled across a film crew.

Aside from news crews (a frequent sight) you don't see much of that around here.

Just because they list here as a filming location doesn't mean they were set here.

The one movie I remember being shot here was On the Road about Jack Kerouac. The old part of Gatineau (Hull) filled in for Denver or something.

Same goes for Ottawa. Few movies are set there.

The comment was how many movies and TV shows are filmed in Ottawa.

OK. Well anyway living here one does not get the impression that lots of movies or TV shows are filmed here at all. It's not like Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver where there are lots of filming crews around. As I said, there are lots of TV news crews here. That's what is most visible.

They're filming a movie right by my house, on the next street over. The entire street is taken up by giant tractor trailers and Klieg lights.
What a pain in the butt. There's absolutely no parking anywhere.

Do they have American flags as props? To me, that's a clue a movie is from Canada.

Some have American license plates.
