HUMBOLDT COUNTY
The much anticipated feature film
After Earth, starring Will and Jaden Smith and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, is set to open Friday, May 31st. 


FILMING LOCATION
Part of After Earth was filmed in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park and on a private location in Humboldt County.



State Park Ranger John O'Rourke went above and beyond to help make the shoot happen at the park so much so that he won State Public Employee of  the Year at last October's COLA (California On Location Awards).









At the California Location Conference this past April in Santa Monica, CA, the Humboldt-Del Norte County Film Comissioner, Cassandra Hesseltine, spoke on a four person panel regarding "After Earth" filming in the redwood region.
