'Everybody Loves Whales' to shoot at UAA, parking impacted Nov. 19-30

Friday, Nov. 19-Tuesday, Nov. 30, all day
Professional Science Building, West and North Parking Lot

UAA is pleased to announce that our Anchorage campus will be used as a setting for the feature film, "Everybody Loves Whales." Film crews will be on campus for several days beginning Nov. 19, running through approximately Nov. 30. The majority of these days will be used for equipment load-in and set construction, all of which will take place on West Campus in the Professional Studies Building (PSB). The filming itself will only take one day.

Parking and PSB access will be affected during this time. WEST LOT will be open for parking, though at least one full bay will be closed from approximately Nov. 19 through Nov. 30 for production trailer and equipment parking. Additional bays in UAA's NORTH PARKING LOT will be used for crew parking and trailer overflow. The total number of parking spots impacted during this film shoot will be about 160; we have about 5,000 parking spots on campus.

Students, faculty and staff who often use PSB will see little impact on the building as a whole, with the majority of the activity taking place in the Journalism and Public Communications' (JPC) TV studio. The building entrance nearest the JPC studio will be restricted to movie personnel only. Please use one of the several other entrances to PSB during this time. Security will be on site to limit access to shooting areas.

This is an exciting opportunity for UAA and our community to be part of this major motion picture production. Watch for the transformed JPC studio on the big screen!
