The Halton Hills Film Database is a website dedicated to the cataloging and preservation of the movie and television productions that were produced in their entirety or in part within the municipal boundaries of Halton Hills.
The project of creating a film database for Halton Hills began in January 2025 between Downtown Acton BIA coordinator Matthew Galliford and local historian Scott Brooks, combining both their passions for the film industry and local history. The film database is in honour of Galliford who passed away on October 30th, 2025.
