HBO Filming in Canmore
What is Happening
And that’s a wrap! All production-related activity has come to an end. Although we liked trying out what we may look like as a post-apocalyptic Jackson Hole, Wyoming, we are glad to look a little more like ourselves.
We thank all Canmore residents for their patience and excitement throughout the production.
