PictureNL, formally known as the Newfoundland and Labrador Film Development Corporation, has chosen Reel-Scout™ as its location, project, and crew management solution. Reel-Scout™ will provide the film office with a digital location library as well as a contact, project, and crew management system -- all of which will allow the office to refine current practices, respond quickly to inquiries, manage productions, and work more closely with its clients.
PictureNL, formerly known as the Newfoundland and Labrador Film Development Corporation, is the province's primary agency for investing in film and television productions through equity, tax credit, and development programs. The NLFDC supports local and external producers with its numerous programs, fostering the growth of the province's film production sector.
As the provincial film commission, PictureNL provides information on filming locations, incentives, crew, and other production details. Typically, over 70 percent of the funding for large-scale film and television productions comes from outside Newfoundland and Labrador. These national and international investments bring new money into the province's economy, which would otherwise be directed to production activities in other regions. With PictureNL as the helm, Newfoundland and Labrador's film and television industry is thriving and expanding.
