Cameras are not an unusual sight at Fort Loudoun State Historic Area in Vonore. Tourists often have them swinging from their necks or perched on tripods. Lately, a different kind of camera has been spotted in and around the fort - a movie camera.

Throughout the past few months, film crews with Nolichucky Pictures have been busy shooting footage for a new documentary about the 250-year-old fort. When complete, the Knoxville-based movie makers will actually produce two high definition videos: a short one for the fort to play in its museum and a longer one that visitors will be able to purchase from the gift shop. The longer video, or a portion of it, is expected to air on Public Broadcast Service (PBS) television sometime in 2013.
