SaskFilm Talks Alberta

Saskatoonhomepage.ca has a brief article regarding film production in Saskatchewan and Alberta is discussed:
The C-E-O of SaskFilm feels Saskatchewan is blazing new trails in the movie industry.

Suzanne Bell says interest in the province is extremely high from producers and directors in Europe. However, Bell says Saskatchewan is showing up on the radar right across the map, including in Hollywood.

Bell downplays Alberta as Saskatchewan's biggest competitor in the film industry, saying every world market has an advantage regarding landscape and feel.

Without detailing specifics, Bell predicts 2007 will be a strong year for Saskatchewan in the movie business.
Sounds like SaskFilm recognizes the diversity that each province has to offer.
