You Can’t Make Everybody Happy

A student from David Thompson Secondary School in Vancouver has written a letter to the editor of the Vancouver Sun in which she responds to this article about a fans from Nashville who traveled to Vancouver in the hopes of meeting the cast.

The student talks about the inconvenience of having the film crew around  which created traffic jams in the hallways and in getting to campus.

“It seemed pretty cool at first, but when you mix in the hottest celebrities with a horrible film crew, the school turns into chaos. Closing the cafeteria for two days, taking over the foyer and forcing students to make detours and stop dead in our tracks during our break and lunch because they were filming a big-shot movie was not cool.”

Last year when Twilight was filmed at Kalama High School ( a school in a very small town just outside of Portland) the production company paid a reported $29,500 plus an additional undisclosed sum to the school district.  There is no word on how much money was paid to the David Thompson Secondary School and/or the local school board for the current use of the facility.
