The independently-produced B.C. documentary, BC is Burning, has drawn more than 160,000 YouTube views and earned four Leo Award nominations in its first week of public release. The documentary, a 47-minute film released May 20, has attracted viewers from eight countries, including Canada, the United States, Australia and Finland. It has received nominations for best picture, best direction, best picture editing and best sound in the short documentary category at the 2026 Leo Awards. “We are very honoured by this recognition from the B.C.film community,” says producer and director Murray Wilson, adding the response shows “this conversation about BC forests and wildfire is resonating with many people.” …Earlier this year the documentary took home Okanagan Screen Awards for best feature documentary, best director and best cinematography. The 2026 Leo Awards take place July 4 and 5 at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver, with winners selected by industry professionals from more than 1,400 entries.
