Film Set

Britannia Shipyards is a favourite of Hollywood’s location scouts and many productions have been filmed there (as well as many other locations around Vancouver and environs, sometimes referred to as Hollywood North). Currently filming is an Apple TV series called Pachinko, based on a best selling Korean novel. In this image the building on the left is a shipyard building but the other one is actually a false front and will be removed when filming is finished.

What an amazing set and great capture, for a moment I thought you were in Asia. We used to play Pachinko whilst living in Tokyo ;-)

As a film buff it's always fun to see these sets. I shall have to keep a look out the "Pachinko", looks like a cool locale!

It does look like you’re on a trip to Asia, I really like the light and vintage look to this shot.

Great capture with an interesting backstory.

Having recently read this novel, the set is much like what I had imagined while reading it.
