SmartSource, a technology company specializing in the television and film industry and based in Hauppauge, NY, has expanded its operation into Canada. The firm has opened an office in Vancouver to provide support to local productions. Canadian productions were previously handled by the company’s Los Angeles office. These services include office and information technology, as well as audio visual equipment rentals, pre-production and post-production support, accounting support, set decoration and talent. SmartSource is a subsidiary of Abcom Technology Group.
“We recognize that the rapid deployment of technology solutions is crucial for seamless film and television productions,” said SmartSource CEO Ali Vafa. “The Canadian film and television industry has seen consistent growth, contributing over $12.2 billion to the country's GDP, and Vancouver has emerged as a hub for this North American boom. We're excited to be a part of this ongoing growth story.”
