This Movie Was Shot In Alaska

A Sleigh Load of Squaws

Alaska As Location

Since we've been on the subject of Alaska creating a tax-incentive to bring more 'Hollywood to Alaska' I decided to look into what has actually been filmed in Alaska over the years.

I started with a visit to the internet movie database (IMDb) and searched 'locations' for any project listing Alaska as a shooting location. There turned out to be thirteen pages of project titles. These included movies, television, and documentaries.

Many of these projects were not shot entirely in Alaska, but Alaska did serve as a location. Sometimes just for a scenic (2nd unit) shot of a glacier, river, or mountains.

Alaska Film Office

As mentioned in earlier posts, the Alaska Film Office has been brought back to life to join in the tax-incentive game some states are offering in order to entice the money and jobs a Hollywood production can drop in your lap.

Though it is not uncommon for a film to have locations in multiple states, the tax incentive is based on shooting the bulk of the production in the state in which it is offered. Essentially, the more money you spend here, the more we will return to you.

Part of the argument presented by Alaskan based film production people who worked to get a tax incentive approved was that:

We are tired of seeing Alaska as the subject of a movie that wasn't even shot here! If it takes place in Alaska, shoot it in Alaska! We have qualified people too, and we'd like those jobs!

And with the current production Everybody Loves Whales shooting entirely (I think) in Alaska, that is a big step towards that goal. There have been local hires, and money is definitely being spent in businesses around Anchorage.

Alaska Irony

The ironic thing is that if Alaska succeeds in establishing itself as an offshoot of Hollywood, as Louisiana, New Mexico, and North Carolina have, it will mean movies that aren't based in Alaska will be shot here as well.

Those states have all doubled for other locales because their incentive programs were attractive to the bottom line. It didn't matter where the movie was supposed to take place.

A friend of mine recently had a feature film he wrote shot in New Orleans even though the story was originally set in Philadelphia. In this case New Orleans did not actually double as Philadelphia, instead the story was re-written to take place in New Orleans.

Shows you how powerful the tax incentive money carrot can be.

In the past Hollywood has used Canada and (the former) Yugoslavia in much the same way. If the language is dollar-saving, anyplace can be made to look like anywhere.

We may soon see Alaska doubling for Minnesota, New England, Washington...

Alaska's Film History (User Notes)

Listed are some of the projects that have been shot in Alaska (whether the entire project, or simply a scenic shot of a tree).

I say 'some' because when we shot Misty Isle Out in 1995 I did a little research to see if an independent film had already been shot in Alaska...

Turned out a few had been, but never saw the light of a projector, and some were never really documented in press or otherwise.

Much of the information gathered is from IMDb.

Next to each title I put type of project, where in Alaska it was filmed (when available), and the occasional bit of trivia. If an exact location isn't listed I use 'AK'.

Alaska became a state in 1959, so many of the titles listed pre-statehood may be of interest to Alaskana connoisseurs in terms of historical content.

Earliest noted film is from 1898, the documentary Pack Train at Chilkoot Pass, and the most current listed production is Universal Pictures Everybody Loves Whales starring Drew Barrymore and slated for release in 2012.

As one might guess (since we are talking about Alaska's film history) most of the titles are documentaries, but there are a number of lower-budget features listed I had not heard of being shot up here.

To help see what has been shot in Alaska, next to each title I put:

• 'feature' - feature films
  
• 'doc' - documentaries
  
• 'TV' - television (doc or episodic)
  
• 'short' - short subjects
  

Some of the titles really invite you to track down a video copy and make a big bowl of popcorn, such as, Attack of the Flesh Devouring Space Worms from Outer Space (1998), or, Jugular Wine: A Vampire Odyssey (1994).

By far my favorite year for titles is 1903...

These short-documentary titles are both intriguing, such as, Working A Long Tom Rocker on Bonanza Creek, and tell you exactly what you're getting, for instance, A Sleigh Load of Squaws.

I had personal interest in films shot in Ketchikan, Alaska, as that is where I first resided when we moved to this state in 1975. There are quite a few, probably the most well known of which is the 1954 feature Cry Vengeance, shot entirely in Ketchikan and showing off a historical view of the town.

Ketchikan also served as location for my independent film Misty Isle Out, as well as Baywatch: White Thunder at Glacier Bay... Never thought I'd see those two titles in the same sentence.

I also seem to remember an episode of Love Boat being shot in Ketchikan, but it is not listed here.

As mentioned before not every project shot in Alaska has been documented, so if you know of any others (especially independent features, of which I suspect there are a few more out there) please leave a note in the comment section.

Now, make a pot of coffee, sit back, and enjoy Alaska's film history...
