Aren't there rules in place that any extras in a SAG production make a minimum sum? When I was an extra on "Dawson's Creek", we got paid 48/8, or roughly $6.00 an hour, whether we were professional, union actors or no. I mean, I could be wrong (would the board members who appeared in Kevin's other films as extras comment please?) and this could be for the joy of being in a Kevin Smith film (and that truly is something special) but because of the production being non-independent I think that the extras will get paid something...
But, yeah, I could be wrong too...
: 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.
