      While concerns have arisen over Hollywood stealing back runaway productions from Metro Vancouver with their boosted tax credits, a new film and TV studio is slated to open in the Lower Mainland next week to add to Hollywood North's growing number of studio spaces.

      Martini Film Studios will open at 19714 96th Avenue in Langley on April 4.

      The Fraser Valley studio includes an eight-stage 150,000-square-foot film lot with an additional 100,000 square feet of support space. The studio will also offer full backlot support services and will be working with MBS Equipment Company.

      The studio's CEO is Gemma Martini, a local stage and screen actor whose credits include the films Poignant and Trust No One, as well as several TV movies.

      Last June, Vancouver Film Studios and Everywhere Studios joined together to launch 50° North Productions at 3500 Cornet Road in East Vancouver.
