- Sorry kids – no Fiorentino tonight. We rehearsed for six hours, at the end of which I had to bolt to the office and handle some unpleasantness. Maybe tomorrow night.
On the subject of rehearsal: fuck, is she talented. Nevermind Adams – Linda’s Bethany is going to surpass hers as the finest female perf in a View Askew effort.
We worked one on one for a little while, then brought Mewes in. Great chemistry between them. After a few hours, Lee joined us as well. It was hot, man – nothing beats an actor who’s ‘in the zone’ (except going down on a chick – NOTHING beats that).
Matt, Salma, and Ben arrive Sunday, so the group’s almost all here.
Man… am I excited!
And, here’s some IMPORTANT stuff for those of you that have been asking about being extras:
- 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.
That about explains it. We’d suggest that you take the few minutes to get your stuff together and send it in…Hey, it can’t hurt. Good luck to you!
