| Pssssst! Wanna be in a movie?
Well, I told you I'd do it, and I'm a man of my word.
Here's your chance to be in 'Dogma' - that flick we've been threatening
to make since 'Clerks'.
You know the story (more or less), you know who's in it. and now you're
going to know how to be a part of it.
You may now officially submit info to our casting mistress, Nancy
Mosser. You're going to have to step out of the cyber-realm and use
snail-mail, but think of the reward: your very own millsecond of
screentime!
What's required: you need a picture (Polaroids are acceptable). Send
that, along with your name, telephone number, and date of birth to...
Nancy Mosser Casting
Tell them how badly you want to be in this flick, and if you're
convincing enough, you may find yourself within spitting distance
(though if you launch one loogie, we're tossing you off the set) of
Linda Fiorentino, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Salma Hayek, Alan Rickman,
Chris Rock, Jason Lee, George Carlin, Jason Mewes, or that fat guy who
runs the show!
SEE... how boring it is to make a flick!
HEAR... the indiscernible secret language of AD's!
SMELL... the fear in the air, as the production spirals out of control!
Uh... we're hoping to avoid the latter, but there's always a chance.
So what are you waiting for?! Stuff an envelope, already, and help us
make one of them there motion pictures!

Sometimes, we take for granted that everyone's going to understand what we mean when we say 'extras'. Let me clarify it for ya'll:
The open call for 'Dogma' extras is for non-speaking filler. For example - there's a scene that takes place at an airport. We need to fill
the airport with folks that look like they're heading to or from a plane.
That's where the extras come in.
The extras won't be saying anything (at least not audible) or reciting dialogue - they're there to fill the scene out.
The extras casting call (the thing that's linked to the site here) is for those kinds of extras. There are many scenes that take place in
locations that require bodies to 'sell the scene' (restaurants, the church, the aforementioned airport). We've opened that up to folks
here.
The deal, however, is a voluntary gig. This means, if you want in, you're responsible for getting yourself to Pittsburgh and putting
yourself up - travel and lodgings will not be provided. You won't be paid (though you'll be fed), but you will have the benefit of
pointing yourself out onscreen to friends and loved ones when the film's released.
Usually, films stick mainly with local extras (people who reside where the film is being shot). But I asked that we extend the
invitation to folks here, because many seemed interested in being in the film.
This is about the last I'll have to say on the subject, as I have nothing to do with extras casting. I will say, however, that if you can
spare the time and cash, it's worth giving a shot - if for no other reason than to be involved (in a small but important fashion) with
making a movie.
