Inside the Filming of Lost at Club 939

The ABC hit, Lost, recently filmed on site at Club 939, and it went something like this. Sorry, no secrets or spoilers, just a behind-the-scenes view of the making of a television show.

In search for a local strip club for a future episode, the location crew of Lost visited several establishments before ending up at Hawaii’s Premier Gentlemen’s Club. Liking what they saw, several site surveys followed with progressively more senior staff getting involved and the executive producers giving the final go ahead.

Not to interfere with 939’s daily business, the Lost setup crew started their work after closing at 2am and finished by 6am when shooting was scheduled to begin. To support this on-location filming, there were many trailers for wardrobe, equipment, makeup, and even their own catering service.

Club 939 employees were allowed to try out at a casting call for extras. About ten members were selected for roles as dancers, bartenders, DJs, and club patrons (check out that tie).

After 4 hours of shooting scenes over and over at different angles, the day was finally done. In total though, this shoot will probably equal a few seconds of airtime on the show. But now, members of 939 can be considered official members of the Lost crew.

This episode will air near the end of March, and Club 939 will be having a viewing party. Keep watching Lost and look for upcoming talent from Club 939.
