Being a Film Extra
Extras are an essential element of any film project. They are most often used to "fill out" scenes which require a large crowd such as a football game or parade. Extras do not have speaking roles and have little or no interaction with the stars of the film.
To be an extra, you will need a recent photograph of yourself. Attach your name, age, address and phone number(s) to the back of the photo. The next step is to send your photo to the productions in your area that are seeking extras.
Each production's casting call announcement will provide their contact information and instructions on their casting procedures. Photos should be submitted directly to the individual productions at the address provided in their hotline announcement. Please be advised that your photo will not be returned and you will not be contacted by the production unless you are needed for filming.
Best of Luck!!!
*****NOTE: FYI*****
Please inform casting people if you prefer working absolutely no nude roles. Agency's please inform casting people if a role requires nudity or implied to be nude. The actors or actresses playing these roles will be shot with great care and respect. Limited crew on set, mostly females. Closed set on most films.
For most films you need to have a HEADSHOT & RESUME for auditions.
