This week’s round up of what’s going in Vancouver’s screen scene is divided into matters of the heart—and matters of the dark.
On the lighter side of things, there’s a feature romcom that’s wrapping up after spending a month in town.
But while that one leaves, there’s a romantic drama TV series starting work on its second season.
On the murkier side of things, a TV movie is underway about how a community tries to continue on after being shaken by the murder of a teenage girl.
And the second season of an anthology series, that began with a handless teen who escaped from a cult, is embarking upon its second season with a new storyline and cast.
So if that all sounds intriguing, read on below for what’s filming Vancouver this week.

Cyclists, this is your weekend. The Gran Fondo is on, allowing an uninterrupted ride up the Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler. Or, if you prefer neon garb and blinky lights to padded shorts and clip-in shoes, Bike the Night is the place to be in Vancouver. There’s also many events to cycle to; the Fringe Festival, a ballet about social media dating, Marc Maron, Bon Iver, rugby, supercars, and the Facade Festival.

The hike to Mount Strachan in Cypress Provincial Park is a bit of a hidden gem. The open summit has great views of Howe Sound and the Lions. And in September, the alpine meadows shift from green to golden orange. There’s also an interesting Cold War-era plane crash to check out along the way. The rocky trail to the summit is moderately challenging, and often poorly marked, so it’s not a hike for beginners.
