International Movie Services (IMS Ltd.)

Warehouse

Our warehouse complex is situated on 14 acres within easy reach of Abbotsford International Airport (YXX), which enables us to ship to any point on the globe quickly and efficiently. We’re a short drive from the studio production hub in Vancouver, and are literally right-next-door to many productions currently taking advantage of locations and facilities in Langley and Aldergrove to escape the congestion nightmare of filming in Vancouver.

Wardrobe

We have one of the largest collections of military, police, fire, ambulance and public service uniforms in the world – the largest in Canada – and are the sole authorized source for uniforms of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP.) We can do any nation, any period in history from the 1700s through current day – and if we don’t have it, we’ll know where to find it.

Set Dec

Whether you need to construct an entire military camp, firebase, command post, TOC or ammo dump – IMS has everything from tents to cots to military generators and ammunition boxes, chow hall equipment, medical equipment, electronics/ radios, tent and exterior lighting – everything you need. We can do every era from the US Civil War through current day, and have both vintage and contemporary gear for use in military camps, FEMA centers, Red Cross relief centers, refugee centers, National Guard disaster relief centers, WWI tent encampments — we’ve done it all.

Props

Props can make or break what you’re trying to put up on the screen, and IMS can supply appropriate police, military, fire, ambulance and public service props for any period you’re trying to portray, whether that takes the form of police belts for 1880s New York City, or current-day US military radio equipment, or World War I officer’s map cases — we hold a vast selection of items for just about any era or setting you can come up with.

Picture Vehicles

IMS holds the largest collection of military vehicles in Canada, ranging from a WWI McLaughlin staff car right up through the most current pattern troop trucks and Humvees available and everything in between. Whatever era or country your production is set in, we’ll have something appropriate. We can also supply various police, ambulance and emergency vehicles.

Oct. 2024

The Film & Television landscape has seen a number of major changes throughout this last year, with British Columbia coming out ahead hosting major productions such as the third season of Apple’s ‘Invasion’, ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’, ‘The Last of Us’, ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’, ‘Shogun’ and others, not to mention a slate of productions with more modest budgets. This year film production in Alberta and Saskatchewan is also strong with a number of significant projects utilizing our stock and expertise, as well as both new and returning productions in the always busy Ontario film industry. We look forward to helping you put your stamp on your own project – large or small – throughout the upcoming year.
