Movie filming at Clemson to cause parking, partial facility closings

The production of a Walt Disney Pictures movie is scheduled for the Clemson University main campus September 14-23, including at halftime of the football game with Charlotte Sept. 21. Disney has begun production of a film called “Safety”–inspired by the story of former Clemson student-athlete Ray Ray McElrathbey, who adopted his younger brother Fahmarr while a member of the football program in 2006. Through next week, production is scheduled to take place at various campus locations, which may result in periodic parking or building unavailability. Scenes are scheduled for Carillon Gardens, inside the Cooper Library and near the reflection pond. Temporary closures within these areas are expected, and detailed dates for impacted areas are listed below. On Sept. 21, fans are encouraged to keep the stadium filled at halftime, as the production runs a few plays for scenes that will appear in the movie. Filming will start as soon as halftime begins.
