The pines of Bowdoin may soon grace the silver screen in theatres across the country. According to Vice President for Communications and Public Affairs Scott Hood, a location scout and crew recently visited Bowdoin to consider it for the production of a small budget film. The crew has also looked at Bates, as well as locations in Rhode Island and Connecticut.
"I took them around campus on a rainy November day," Hood said. "Were they to choose Bowdoin, we would negotiate a contract and the shoot would take place some [time] in February."
This would not be the first time that Bowdoin has been used as a location in a film?parts of "The Man Without a Face" were shot on campus in the early 1990s, and the College was thanked in the film's credits. Bowdoin's name was also featured in an episode of "The Sopranos" and the film, "Where the Heart Is," though both productions were shot at other locations.
