Ever wanted to be a Movie Extra? Here's what it's like.

I haven't visited this thread in a while.

The film (Devil's Knot) premiers at the Toronto Film Festival in about two weeks (September 8th), and they still don't have a trailer released. It's driving me up the wall.

The official public release is October 13th.

I have no idea if my scenes are in it or not. Arg.

Hey there is always the possibility you make the DVD extras!

Just an addition to a great thread Mike- my experience with extra work was similar to yours until I ran into an old friend that was doing security work for the movie company and was hired as a security guard and then subsequently also hired by the transportation contractor. I got into a scene briefly in a crowd scene so I am now Kevin Bacon level 3, I got to eat CS, I made 3 paychecks sometimes simultaneously and I got a closer view of the technical end of things than I would have as an extra. All around a great experience, your mileage may vary.
