The other day I wrote a post about a big sci-fi film that will be shot on Penn's campus this summer.
An alum by the name of "Dara" then made the following comment and mentioned:
"I remember when Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington shot the library scene of "Philadelphia" at Furness. I walked to the library with a friend very early one morning to try to catch the stars, but no such luck!"I too (Matt Rosler, C'96) was actually on campus for the filming of Philadelphia during early January 1993 for Mask and Wig's Spring Show rehearsals. I managed to sneak in while they were filming and got into a bit of trouble...

To this day, I remember the moment after I shot that photo I heard a walkie talkie go off saying "Get that kid's camera". I panicked and some assistant approached me and demanded I remove the film. I think I had convinced her not to make me remove the film and somehow my friends and I raced out of Furness through some emergency fire door.
