Show producers Rick Siggelkow and Jim Corston say choosing Alberta for the show’s location was carefully thought out.Check out the full article at this link.
“We wanted to be some place where there had been big dinosaur digs and then I saw this documentary on CBC about Drumheller. The landscape looked so perfect, so we hooked up with Alberta Filmworks,” says Siggelkow.
“It all seemed pretty logical and it couldn’t have worked out any better. The locations are amazing, the cast has been fantastic and this is easily one of the best crews we’ve ever worked with.”

Drumheller is home to the Royal Tyrrell Museum, easily one of the finest dinosaur museums on the planet. Having worked with the facility's scientists, and being a repeat visitor to the exhibits, I highly recommend it as a must-see stop on your Alberta family vacation or movie location tour.
If you're into checking out more dinosaur-related areas, drive a few hours south to Dinosaur Provincial Park and marvel at the otherworldly expansiveness of the badlands of Alberta, some of the richest area for fossils in the world. I've had the good fortune to be in DPP on some fossil excavations with Palaeoblogger, Dr. Michael J. Ryan, and film with the Phaeton Group, and am always looking forward to going back on another adventure.
