The studio is now open for film and television productions.

Screen Nova Scotia Studios is now fully operational and open for business. Owned and operated by Screen Nova Scotia, the newly renovated studio is situated on a 20-acre, tree-lined campus and features:

  • Two studios (11,000 sq. ft. + 10,000 sq. ft.) with 31′ ceilings, clear-span and connected.
  • An additional 4,000 sq. ft. loading, unloading, and prep area.
  • 44,000 sq. ft. of ancillary space across six buildings, including 14 production offices.

“Nova Scotia’s screen industry has spent years building momentum,” said Laura Mackenzie, CEO, Screen Nova Scotia & Screen Nova Scotia Studios. “The studio property gives that momentum a home, with space for projects today and room to expand for what comes next. It gives productions room to think bigger, our crews more opportunities to grow, and Nova Scotia the infrastructure to compete at a new level.”

Screen Nova Scotia Studios is designed to meet the unique needs of film and television productions, offering flexible production space, dedicated support areas, and the capacity to accommodate complex builds and long-term shoots. Located just 30 minutes from downtown Halifax in Mount Uniacke, the studio also qualifies for the rural location bonus.

Drawing on Nova Scotia’s skilled crew, competitive incentives, experienced production partners, and diverse natural locations, the new studio provides a production hub for projects of every scale.

Screen Nova Scotia will be showcasing the studio to global industry professionals at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival during TIFF: The Market. The Atlantic Canada Market Day on September 13th will feature an introduction to the studio property, and the SNS studio team will be welcoming the world to learn more about working in the province. To mark the studio’s official opening, Screen Nova Scotia has also unveiled a new brand identity for Screen Nova Scotia Studios, developed by marketing agency Trampoline Branding.
