Film Crew Shoots Commercial on South 8th Street

They started at 9AM and did the final wrap around 11PM. They were doing a series of commercials for Faulkner University. The crew had used the house accross street several years ago and returned for another commercial on Tuesday. When they were scouting the area last weekend, they like the look of my house and did a front yard shoot there. Traffic on South 8th between Avenues C & D was blocked for a while with local police support.
