While others were perfecting their tan and shopping for new bathing suits the week before Spring Break 2020, a handful of University of Tampa students were spending their days on a major movie set as interns and extras for Justin and Christian Long’s new movie, Lady of the Manor.
Crew member and film major Rose Caltrider ’22 was the extras’ production assistant on set.

Aaron Walker, chair and associate professor of film, animation and new media, noted that working on such a professional set with famous, well-known people like the Longs elevates the professionalism and richness of the environment for students. They are continuously refining their skills.
