TV Pilot to be filmed in North Olympic Peninsula
The pilot for a possible new TV show, Rainforest, will be filmed this summer in various North Olympic Peninsula locations. Probable locations include Port Townsend, Forks, Port Angeles, Sequim and Lake Quinault.
The TV show's creator, Scott A. Capestany, has met with Jamestown S'Klallam tribal leaders to work out an agreement. The tribe will allow filming on reservation land and provide historic advisers to ensure accuracy.
Capestany said he has “a desire to weave into my fictional story of the rain forest an authentic Native American component. That component, now, is going to be told the through the eyes of the S'Klallam tribe and their historians. We are working with their team of storytellers. We are just honored to have that partnership.”
7 Cedars Casino CEO Jerry Allen said:
“I think this is really a compliment to the tribe that Scott wants to do something like this. We are excited to be part of it. There were a lot of choices. When you think about the number of tribes that circle this peninsula and the fact that we were able to put this together, we are very, very flattered.”
Capestany said he will also be working with the Quileute Tribe, Lake Quinault School District, the Forest Service and National Park Service.

This is very exciting. I hope they can make it as real and authentic as possible, and avoid the sensationalism trap -- that would be wonderful :)
