About this event
Shelf Life Books. Please join Sam Wiebe and Kelly Senecal for an evening of readings and conversation. Sam Wiebe will be launching his newest title, Shot in Vancouver, set to release this October from Arsenal Pulp Press.About the Book: An entertaining history of Vancouver as Hollywood North, the third busiest film production hub in North America. Sam Wiebe tells the fascinating story of Vancouver's rise as Hollywood North, from its humble beginnings as a locale for 1970s films such as McCabe & Mrs. Miller and Carnal Knowledge to its current incarnation as a major production hub that's spawned a corresponding domestic industry, even though it is rarely depicted on film as itself. Shot in Vancouver is a loving and affectionate tribute to a city in disguise, as well as a catalogue of its astonishing contributions to film and television history.
