HOLLYWOOD NORTH

Toronto is crawling with movie projects this summer. “In the first half of 2000, the value of production in Toronto was $352.8 million, according to agency data. That’s an increase of 15.2 per cent, from $306.2 million in the first six months of last year, and it doesn’t include the millions of dollars spent on TV commercials, animation and special effects.” Sixty-one percent of the projects come from the US. – Toronto Star 07/26/00
