Film Producer Wayne Bennett explains how the industry went from slump to surge

It's been a busy week with a big Hollywood movie shooting downtown, but Ryan Reynold's Deadpool isn't the only major production.

His campaign has since been disbanded because it's no longer needed.

Watch the video to see Bennett explain to Our Vancouver's Gloria Macarenko how and why the film business is back.
