How to be in a Movie
It made me
Amused
 "I was an extra in 'The Patriot' and it was such an original experience with the period costumes and seeing behind the scenes of a real movie."
How I did it: While I was driving one day, I heard a radio ad about a casting call for a movie and quickly wrote down the information. I didn't have an appointment, but showed up that day anyway. I brought with me, a random picture and attached it to the application at the casting call and - voila - they called me back in 3 weeks. I was a random extra, but it was still so neat to get my hair and makeup done - and to dress in a period ball gown... All around, it was a very cool experience.

How I did it: When I turned 20 I made the goal of being in a movie within the next year. Just, I don't know, I've had this dream of working with film for years now. Either as an actress, or director, writer, etc, etc. But I have always been so shy and, well, so all my life before the last years I wouldn't dare to dream about anything involving being exposed or having to work on large projects like that. This makes me a bit sad, cause I wish now, t… Read how I did it…

This is probably the thing I’ve wanted to do for more of my life than anything else. Not that I want to be any kind of an actor, but I always thought the experience would be fun and ever since I was a kid, I could entertain endlessly by being somebody I’m not. Sounds like a match made in heaven.

Just a short independent film of some sort. Even a walk-on roll of some sort. Just to do it. I changed this from make a film, because I don’t know if that interests me at all.

Ever since I can remember, I thought that I could be an actress. It’s not something that I later pursued as my career, but I still have this dream. I learned to focus on an art-related career as that is my greatest talent, but I still want to be in a movie. I am one of those people that itches to be on stage and in the limelight. As a dancer and cheerleader in high school, I got to do that a lot. However there were not a lot of plays at my school so I only got to practice acting skills in 2 of them. One was a play that my 8th grade class wrote called “Elvis is Alive.” Since my English teacher was obsessed with Elvis, I played a Bachelorette in a game show with the same obsession. All of the bachelors were Elvis in his different life stages. Senior year, I was a Palace Designer for a modern Cinderella story called “If the Shoe Fits.” I don’t have a lot of experience, but every time I see a play or movie, I want to be in one.
I’m taking my first step to this goal now. I learned about a low-budget film that will be filmed nearby in Mississippi. It’s called Butterfly Rising. I don’t fit any of the demographics for the characters, as most of the roles call for actors that are either in their late 20s and older or black. Since I am neither, I was a little discouraged, but I may be able to be an extra. I just sent an email to find out more information! I usually would have left it alone since I don’t fit the part. However, I am determined to cross this one off my list and I’m going to take every opportunity I have to do so!
