Home   The Documentary Film Producers and Crew Program Preview The Alaskan Perspective On Location Filming History

On Location In the film world, "on location" means filming that takes place outside the studio. For the Harriman Alaska Expedition Retraced documentary, the location is daunting. It is made up of thousands of miles of coastline and waterway, inhabited by an astonishing mix of human cultures and a number of fascinating animal, botanical and geological features. The pictures below will give you a quick look at a few of the locations chosen for the PBS documentary on the expedition.
