FAQ's

Just hang in there till the production work starts flowing in. We have 2 launches early next year to encourage producers who will be in search of your services. 

Film extras, also known as background actors or as we call them, supporting artistes, (SAs) appear in non-speaking or minor roles in the background of scenes in films, TV shows, commercials, and other media productions. Creating a realistic setting and atmosphere, SA’s portray everyday people in environments such as general crowds, modern-day passer-bys, or diners in a restaurant, and can also be cast in fantasy and period roles too. Their contribution is essential for adding depth and authenticity to the main action and storyline.

No prior experience is necessary. However, an interest in performance is beneficial, and any acting experience is appreciated. Overall you need to be reliable, friendly and punctual. Sometimes specific skills are required for a sequence, so make sure you tell us about any skills you have when filling in your application form. 

The ideal extra should be flexible with their work schedule, reliable, and able to commit to work assignments. A patient and positive, can-do attitude is essential. This work is well-suited to many different people from all walks of life, such as retired or, self-employed people, students, or people out of work. Filming days are typically long with early starts, so you need to be quite hardy and resilient. 

Due to frequent and sudden schedule changes, extra work is generally not suitable for those with caregiving responsibilities, full-time jobs, or availability limited to weekends.
