Filming on Campus

Trinity Western University’s scenic campus is a sought-after setting for television and film shoots from May to August, on school breaks and weekends. 

The scenic campus is a sought-after setting for television and film shoots from May to August, on school breaks and weekends.  The campus is set among the Fraser Valley’s idyllic rolling hills and includes manicured grounds, a wide array of modern and historic buildings, a selection of classroom, meeting, and athletic facilities as well as convenient, on-site accommodation and catering.

Our experienced team and beautiful campus make our location an ideal budget-friendly choice for your next production.

Script Approval

A copy of the final script, thorough synopsis, along with the list of requested locations on campus must be submitted to the TWU Marketing & Communications Office before a facility use request can be considered. This must be submitted for review a minimum of two weeks in advance of the desired filming preparation date.  We recommend submitting requests well in advance of these minimum requirements to allow for timely and thorough review.

Any changes or revisions in the script following submission must be brought to the attention of the TWU Marketing & Communications Office prior to filming.

The University reserves the right to deny filming requests in cases where it considers the project’s content to be damaging to the reputation or image of the University or that is not in full compliance with TWU’s Facility Use Policy (available on request). 

Locations

Most areas of the University campus, subject to availability and academic schedules, may be used for filming based on approval, with the following exceptions:

  • President’s Office
  • Residence Halls while occupied by students
  • Chapel

All filming at interior locations require advance permission.  Filming is not permitted in libraries, Trinity Commons or classrooms during exam periods in December and April.

Please contact conferences@twu.ca, or call 604-888-7511 ext. 3605 to obtain a filming location agreement.

Filming cannot commence without a signed location agreement, contract and appropriate proof of insurance.
