Extra! Extra! Be in a movie filming nearby!

Posted by Stanley on September 3rd, 2008 7 Comments

The smart money says the key to quick fame on-camera is to upload a video of yourself doing something incredibly stupid/daring/hillariuos/disgusting to youtube and then sit back and let the digg numbers do the work for you.

But if you’re still aiming for more the traditional Hollywood-style fame and notoriety, you’re in luck. Later this month, Red Cloud Productions is filming scenes for MAX VO2: The Potential Inside in and around Lynchburg, Va., and they’re looking for “Hundreds of Background Actors and Extras”.

Full info at the site linked above, but the two big scenes are for a bike race:

Event: Race Scene #1
 ”Hundreds of Background Actors and Extras Needed!”

What: Performance

When: 8:00 am to 6:00 pm
Saturday, September 13

1:00 pm to 6:00pm
Sunday, September 14

Where: Peaks View Park
1220-1229 Ardmore Drive
Lynchburg VA, 24501

and:

Event: Race Scene #2 + LU Mountain Bike Race Combined
 ”Hundreds of Background Actors and Extras Needed!”

What: Sporting Event

When: 8:00 am to 10:00 pm
Saturday, September 20

1:00 pm to 6:00pm
Sunday, September 21

Where: Camp Hydaway, Liberty University

This sounds like fun. And who knows, if you get spotted by some enterprising producer, you could be the next meteoric star to soar onto the silver screen before crashing tragically into a d-list post-stardom coke habit.

Hey, you gotta have dreams, kids.

    P.S. Being an extra is lame. You work all day and don’t get paid. And you will not get discovered.

    I’m looking for 4-19 extras, aged 18+, ready to jam, capable of dismissing regret, diseased or disease free only, please. Must be or have been, a lady. Filming will take place from 9:45P to 9:52P this evening.

    @5: It’ll take him at least 5 minutes to verify everyone’s age and gender.
