"Water for Elephants Chattanooga Film Premiere April 22"
The Chattanooga Southeast Tennessee Film Commission announces the official "Water for Elephants" Chattanooga Film Premiere presented by the Chattanooga Times Free Press at Carmike Cinema's Majestic 12 Theatre (311 Broad Street, 37402) on Friday, April 22, 2011.
Just last summer in August 2010, 20th Century Fox's new film "Water for Elephants" wrapped a two week shoot in Chattanooga—leaving a $1 million footprint in local economic impact. Based on the New York Times #1 bestseller written by Sara Gruen, the film has stirred a cult following and has been billed by those in the industry as Academy Award material. And now the film has put Chattanooga on the map for filmmakers—building momentum toward future filming projects.
Missy Crutchfield, Education, Arts & Culture Administrator and Film Commissioner, says, "Together with the Tennessee State Film Commission and the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum, we worked hard to bring "Water for Elephants" to Chattanooga, leaving a million dollar impact on the local economy, and this is just the beginning of what we are building toward for continued job growth and economic development."
The Chattanooga Southeast Tennessee Film Commission is an extension of the City of Chattanooga Department of Education, Arts & Culture and includes volunteer advisors and staff: Missy Crutchfield, EAC Administrator/Film Commissioner, David Johnson, EAC/Film Commission Deputy Administrator, Melissa Turner, EAC/Film Commission Communications Director, Phillip Stevens, Mayor's Office/Film Commission Special Assistance Liaison, Chris Holley, EAC/Film Commission Locations Liaison. Special thanks to Film Commission Advisor Jim Frierson who has worked closely with "Water for Elephants" film officials and Executive Producer Kevin Halloran on hospitality and local connections with the Chattanooga shoot.

Great job guys! I'm happy to know what was actually filmed in this area. In the trailer a lot of things looked familiar, but I didn't know.
