Casting Call for Extras

Kelp Entertainment’s production of “The Smiling Man” is looking for extras. We are a very small independent group funding our movie out-of-pocket, and are shooting it on digital video in San Francisco.

We need a large number of people of any age, race or sex to fill out the backgrounds of a few key exterior scenes shot around the city. We will be shooting at various times of day, both weekdays and weekends, so no matter when you are available, odds are good we can use you. No one who can meet our criteria will be refused.

The catch: the movie is set in the late 1940s. All applicants must be able to provide their own reasonably authentic period clothing, and women must be able to do their own hair and makeup. Men must have appropriately short hair, and be willing to slick it back with pomade (available on request) or equivalent.

The only compensation we can offer is screen credit and a copy of the finished DVD, which should be available in the early part of next year. This is a great chance to get some exposure, break out those swing clothes that have been languishing in the back of the closet and have some fun!

To apply, please send a photo of yourself in a late 1940’s outfit along with your name, contact info and an estimate of your availability this November and December to astrobeej@strafe.com. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.
