Students have the opportunity to be among the first to see the comedy “Pitch Perfect” tonight, which was filmed on the University’s campus last fall.

The University will be offering a free screening of Jason Moore’s film in the LSU Student Union Theater for students tonight. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the movie begins at 8 p.m.

A student can get in free using his or her LSU ID. After swiping their cards, students will be eligible for door prizes, said Ashley Territo, assistant to the vice chancellor of Finance and Administrative Services.

Territo said the University planned the event after Universal Pictures approached the school officials with the idea last week.

“Universal Pictures came to us asking if this would be something we were interested in working with them,” Territo said.

She said the movie’s demographic is college-based because the story is about college students competing in a capella singing competitions, and showing the film to college students is a “natural fit.”

She said she expects students to be excited about the movie because of its ties to campus.

“It was filmed on our campus…The Quad, Greek Theater, Huey P. Long Pool, several exterior Res Hall locations, the Exxon Quad, are all some of the areas,” she said.

The 108-minute film will be shown in the LSU Student Union Theater, which seats about 1,200, Territo said. Although there isn’t an estimated student turnout, she said seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

If students win door prizes, they will be contacted the next day, similar to the system used at Late Night LSU.

“This is an exciting opportunity. We’ve never done an advanced screening of a movie here on campus, and one that was filmed here. It’s very exciting,” Territo said.
