WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We use nearly all types and ages.  We need to make the scenes look like real places, so that means everyone.  Because of the nature of film - long days & a lot of waiting - we will likely only use kids aged 10 & older.  A parent or guardian must be with a child on set.  Which means it's a good idea for a parent to also submit themselves.

Submission does NOT guarantee extra work.

If you want information on listing with the agency as an actor, go to www.copelandcreative.com and read the "FAQ" section and then the "Representation" section for procedures.

COMPENSATION

Usually, extras are paid minimum wage.  However, that is determined on a job-by-job basis.  Some films need volunteers.  You will fill out a W-9, just like any new job, so you must take an I.D. with you.  If you are booked, you will receive details via email.

HOW TO SUBMIT FOR EXTRAS LIST  (on-going general list)
