What to expect if cast as an extra

- You should ALWAYS expect a full 12+ hour day. Some days are significantly shorter than others..and some are longer. NOBODY from this office will EVER tell you that it will only take a few hours. We may give you an idea of timeframe, if we have it, but things always change.
- You may be asked to do a variety of different things in the scene such as walking, crossing camera, sitting down with a friend, engaging in pretend conversation, doing a specific task or activity. It's all up to production and they will give you instructions on the day based on the scene.
- Snacks, water, and coffee are always available throughout the day and you will get a hot meal half-way through the day if you're there for the entire day (full 12 hrs).
