It was the number 1 movie last week and doesn’t show signs of slowing down. What you may not know, however, is that one company operating in northeastern Pennsylvania – and in fact one of Cabot’s contractors – helped to make the famous flood scenes possible.

The New York office of Rain for Rent was involved with the filming of Noah from about June 2012 until November 2012 as it was filmed on Long Island. We caught up with Clarence Evans to ask him about the experience.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row animation=””][vc_column width=”1/2″]The location was set in Glen Cove, Long Island where the film took over a nearby arboretum and filmed many of the scenes in the open area. We had three to four employees on set during filming to make sure everything was running smoothly with our pump operations.

We’re trying to organize a movie night for everyone in the office to go see it in theaters, but if we aren’t able to we will definitely plan a team building exercise and watch it when it comes out on DVD.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row animation=””][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Is this the first time Rain for Rent has been involved with Hollywood?Rain for Rent was involved with the filming of the movie The Sorcerer’s Apprentice where we needed to flood a stage area about 100 feet by 75 feet in minutes and then drain it again and repeat the process. So we’ve definitely been involved before.
