A bust in film land?

The first full-service film and television studio in the Okanagan transformed the former Far West building on Kosmino Road in Vernon into a massive studio last year.

Okanagan Film Studios aimed to lure television series produced by Amazon or Netflix that could be shot in the Okanagan.

But the renovated building is now up for sale for $5.75 million.

“There's been a large investment put into this ,and you know they say 'build it and they will come' ... that's what the hope is,” general manager Tim Bieber said after transforming the space last year.  

The 3.71-acre property includes two buildings totalling 50,916 square feet. 

Okanagan Studios bought the property in response to record-breaking demand for B.C. production resources.

The company was unavailable for comment on Thursday.
