Why Montreal?

Why choose Montréal and Québec for your productions? In many ways, Montréal, the cultural capital of Canada, is comparable to New York City, Paris and other great cities of Europe and America. It attracts productions from all over the world because you can go back in time with a single camera movement. A modern city and glass towers rub shoulders with old stone and cobbled streets of the past. But perhaps most unique is the unprecedented pool of creative talent, skilled technicians and renowned craftspeople who work within the GRANDÉ Group.
