Sorry.
That's kind of the point of sending out a cattle call to hardcore fans who would be happy to just be in the movie without getting paid.
Someone can contradict me on this but that is my understanding.
: O.K.,I know if I was one of the lucky ones that got selected,that I would have to transport myself and take care of my own living arrangements...but,after reading the information,I'm still not sure about something...are we gonna get paid? The info really didn't say anything about getting paid and I was just wondering if this was something we would be doing just to have the grand opportunity of being in a Kevin Smith film,and we would be working for free. I think most extras(not sure which ones so don't hold me to this)get paid from $50 to $100 bucks a day(who knows,maybe more),and I could probably do it,if I was gonna be gettin'paid,cause I got a lot of shit in the pawnshop right now,and I'm in between jobs,and it wouldn't do me a damn bit of good right now to up and take off to be an extra in a movie working for free. I am deaddog serious about this and would appreciate a real serious answer back from someone who knows please. Cause if I'm gettin paid...I'm in all the way...at least try anyway. I would love,just as much as any other Kevin Smith fans,to see myself in the background in this new JERSEY GIRL movie,even if it's just the back of my head. I could point to the screen at the movie theater and say to my friends...LOOK!THAT'S MY HAIR! Hey,that would be enough for me man.
