Do You Want To Be In a Movie?

The writer/director of The Valley Of Fear, the film I'm acting in, has sent out a call for extras. If you live (or will be in) the San Francisco Bay Area, are available on Saturday, April 29 and think you might be interested, read the description below. If you'd like to do it, e-mail me so I can RSVP to her.

On Saturday, April 29, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m., we will be shooting a crowd scene for the film, The Valley of Fear.

The Valley of Fear is a feature-length horror-comedy, currently in production. The Valley of Fear is about a contest held by a backwoods survival skills club. They go out to the Valley of Fear, where their founder and leader, Flinty McGraff, was mysteriously killed seven years earlier. Contestants head off into the woods under strict guidelines to set up their best wilderness campsite, and all of them are cheating. Soon they start to die, as a monster is stalking them. And...it's a comedy. You'll see.

The part for which we need a crowd is a scene at the beginning of the film where members of a backwoods survival skills club meet to hear the announcement of a grand prize for the best backwoods survivalist.

We need a roomful of people dressed as hikers and/or backwoods survivalists. If you would like to do this, show up in hiker/backwoods clothes, Saturday morning by 10 a.m. (once we start shooting, we can't add any more people).

Time: 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Day: Saturday, April 29
Location: Appreciation Hall
Foothill College
12345 El Monte Road
Los Altos Hills, CA

10 a.m.: Club members (extras) will (be taught and) sing the club song, a silly song with silly gestures as choreography. Those who are enthusiastic participants in this part (and those with the best clothes), will be seated toward the front of the hall. Less enthusiastic singers can be toward the back, looking unenthusiastic, and this will also be helpful to the shoot.

After we shoot the song, we will shoot crowd reactions to the short film of the club founder, Flinty McGraff, being killed.

After that, we will shoot crowd reactions to the announcement of the opening of the contest. This should all take 2-3 hours.

All are welcome! Bring your friends! Bring your acquaintances! Bring people you don't know! Bring family! We hope to get a good-sized crowd in the hall.
