VICTORIA -- The B.C. government has officially committed $150,000 to research the development of an on-campus film studio at Camosun College's Interurban campus. Last year, the B.C. NDP said it would provide the funding to Camosun if it were re-elected in the provincial election. On Saturday, the provincial government announced that it would be following through on that campaign promise. "This funding is a great first step in determining how students at Camosun College could benefit from a new film studio on the South Island through unique skills training opportunities," said Murray Rankin, MLA for Oak Bay-Gordon Head in a statement Saturday.
