A friend of mine just e-mailed me this, and I figured I’d spread the word for her. This is a non-paying gig, but if you’re looking to just get some screen time, this might be your chance:
Volunteer Extras Needed for One Day Shoot on “Caught in the Act”(Starring: John Corbett “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”, Sean Astin “Lord of the Rings” and Amy Smart “Road Trip”)
Tuesday, June 1
We need all types of people, 16 and older.
**Please tell your friends**
If you are Available please respond to the email address:
In your email please include:
Your First and Last Name, Phone Numbers, Email Address and Age.
*A confirmation email will be sent back with the location and call time*
This is a non-paid, volunteer position. Due to continuity issues, we ask that you are willing to spend the entire shoot day with us. If we establish you in a scene early in the day, it may be necessary to match your scene late in the day.
The scene will take place in a theater setting. We ask that you wear clothing reflective of attire worn attending a play at a local theater. Please no shorts, t-shirts, tank tops or summer attire. We are not allowed to show logos, names, loud colors (avoid red, white & black) or stripes. Please dress in calm, earthy tones, and bring a coat if you don’t mind.
The days can be long and sometimes there are long ‘down’ times. We ask that you bring things to help pass the slow time (while we are setting up equipment in between shots). IPODs, games, books, homework, magazines, knitting etc. are all good examples of things to bring.
You will be asked to sign a photo release. We will not be providing lunch, so please bring your own lunch.
We will need cooperation while on the set, but hope this will be an educational and exciting experience. Please never hesitate to ask questions. We want all of you to have a good time and a joyful experience.
Looking forward to seeing you on the set!
Heather Jenkins
Volunteer Extras Coordinator
Update E-mail on 5/30:
The volunteers extras shoot date has been rescheduled to Sunday, June 6th. I
apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
Due to this change I need to update the “confirmed” list with accurate
information regarding your availability. Please send an email as soon as
possible with “June 6th” in the subject heading. Make sure in the email to
include the first and last names, email addresses and ages of all the people
this applies to and a “Yes or No” concerning their availability for the June
6th date.
We are still accepting volunteer extras, and the new date should allow more
people to participate. If you know anyone who may be interested please pass
on the info.
Again, I apologize for the last minute change.

So what you’re going to have is shots of people attending a show with lunch sacks, crosswords, Game Boys and iPods in their laps. Realistic! 🙂
what a bunch of died-in-the-wool cheap sons a bitches.
i am really pissed at this.
what is this country coming to. just because it’s a “movie” BFD!
just because they told you to bring stuff doesn’t mean that it’s gonna be in the shot with you. Think about it, they’d have to be retarted to do that to their movie. And about the being cheap thing, it’s not like this is some huge overly budgeted movie, they’re trying to save money wherever possible. I’m gonna work for free on and around the set this weekend, and ya know what? I’m pretty damn happy about it.
