The film company behind plans for a $300-million film studio with six sound stages and a commercial complex on Malahat First Nation land says investors are ready to sign off on the project.
Beverley Dondale, CEO of Victori-based Alpha Select Production Services, said the First Nation is awaiting federal funds for a feasibility study that will determine construction timelines and risk analysis for the project near Mill Bay.
Dondale said major investors from Canada and the U.S. are committed to financing the massive construction project on an 80-acre parcel that would also include a business and industrial park, a 120-room hotel, a shopping village and a technical academy for film apprenticeships and skills training.
