thought provokes!...
Many people have asked how they can be in or an extra in a film. For this particular blog, I will focus on New Orleans. To be cast for a film in NOLA you will need to get your info to casting directors. There are several ways to do this. I happen to think that the best way is to apply to Casting Websites or directly through the feature or series:
Many casting directors have their own websites. You will need to email your photos and measurements, or fill out an application or “Talent Registration.” Websites will also include information on what films are currently being cast. If you are hired, they will also be used to let you know when and where to show up, and other specifics concerning your clothing and appearance. Sign up with each of these websites, and check in regularly, as new movies begin casting all of the time. Here are a few of the Casting Websites in NOLA and surrounding areas: Batherson Casting Caballero Casting Coulon Casting Glorioso Casting MyCastingFile Applying to specific films. You can contact films currently shooting and ask to be put in touch with their extras casting directors. When emailing a specific film for the first time, always put “Extras Casting” in the subject line. When calling ask if you can speak with “Extras Casting.” I recommend emailing. These are the two largest projects in productions now: Jack Reacher: Never Go Back Wraps: January 29 nevergobacknola@gmail.com NCIS New Orleans Season 2 Wraps: April 2016 ncisnolaresumes@gmail.com Up and coming features: Billionaire Boys Club Begin Principal: December 11 bbcresumesnola@gmail.com Brothers Blood Begin Principal: November 28 goodandbadcopllc@gmail.com Bad Moms Begin Principal: January 11 badmoms2015@gmail.com Always remember: NEVER bring a camera on set!!! Personal cameras are strictly forbidden and if you get caught taking cell phone pictures, you will be asked to delate them, may have your phone confiscated and may be kicked off set. A film’s producers have a right to protect the images that are being created on set. You shouldn't even have your cell phone with you since you cannot have them on. Super pet peeve of mine... this is why I never post set photos unless its my film or no one is on set!!!

People keep asking me where everything is being filmed. This is pretty much everything I could think of in the last 12 months. Remember movies take a long time in post usually. Most TV series are being filmed in NYC. There is so much more in Louisiana and Pennsylvania but I am drawing a blank! Also Louisiana just added a position (I forget what they are calling it, for my blog I will refer to this person as the tax czar!) The tax czar will start reviewing budgets starting 2016 for production approval for tax credit. They are adding an extra hassle!
Here's a breakdown by State where things are being filmed. This is only off the top of my head and not a complete list! Many movies are filmed in multiple States and locations. I have to say... I didn't realize how much content is on prime time! There is a lot of TV out there! Also, there is much much more being filmed in many of the states listed (i.e.: Utah) but again, I just put the known productions and what I could think of.
