Wild Bus Films – Expert Remote Location Scouting in British Columbia

When your production demands something wild, Wild Bus Films delivers. Founded by award-winning Producer and Director Louisa Gilbert, Wild Bus Films specializes in remote location scouting and field production services throughout British Columbia’s most breathtaking — and hard-to-reach — landscapes.

What started in a custom-built 40-foot bus has evolved into one of BC’s most trusted resources for filmmakers who need more than a standard cityscape. Louisa’s innovative off-grid production rig, equipped with solar panels, satellite communications, and high-clearance mobility for rugged logging roads, allows Wild Bus Films to embed deep into remote environments where traditional location scouts simply can’t operate.

From towering old-growth forests to hidden mountain passes, Wild Bus Films brings a new level of accessibility to the cinematic beauty of British Columbia. Their experience working on major science and history productions has sharpened their ability to find, assess, and secure visually stunning and logistically viable filming locations, no matter how remote.

Wild Bus Films understands that location is more than just scenery — it’s the backbone of storytelling. Whether you’re producing a historical documentary, an adventure series, or a feature film, their boots-on-the-ground knowledge ensures you’ll have access to sites that elevate your narrative while meeting production needs for safety, access, and sustainability.

Beyond scouting, Wild Bus Films offers strategic field production support. Having lived and worked out of the bus herself, Louisa Gilbert brings a rare combination of practical field experience and creative vision to every project. Her team can assist with logistics like permitting advice, site management, field communications, and even mobile production setups in remote locations.

Operating out of Vancouver and servicing productions across all of British Columbia, Wild Bus Films is a go-to partner for directors, producers, and content creators looking to push beyond the typical and tell stories that live off the grid.

If your next project demands epic landscapes, extreme environments, and a scouting team that doesn’t back down from a challenge, connect with Wild Bus Films.
