Six months after it opened its doors, the $28.2-million Calgary Film Centre is currently working to full capacity with all three sound stages being utilized by TV productions.

General manager Erin O’Connor says all three stages are being used, at least until the end of the year. That’s when the British series Tin Star, starring Tim Roth and Christina Hendricks, will wrap. It has been using one of the facility’s sound stages since June and the production could return if it’s picked up for a second season.

The other two have been taken over by Season 3 of FX’s Fargo, starring Ewan McGregor, which is expected to begin principal photography in December. The series is expected to use the facility until the Spring of 2017, O’Connor said.

“We are 100 per cent full,” she says. “I’m absolutely delighted and proud say we are fully operational and the Calgary Film Centre is 100 per cent utilized.”

Other than a TV commercial, Tin Star and Fargo are the first productions to use the facility. At the moment there is nothing confirmed for the centre after Fargo wraps. O’Connor said there is plenty of interest, although could not provide details about specific productions.
