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.

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!

It happened very randomly. Me and my boyfriend went out to enjoy Art Walk (it’s a free, local event that takes place every first Wednesday of each month). We went looking for free snacks at a local diner/bar we like and ran into a lady my boyfriend use to work with. Her husband has a friend who is making a movie in the same diner we were at and she asked if we would be interested. She introduced us to the director and told us to just walk in next Sunday when they’re filming. It’s indie and might not every air but…well I hope it does! I don’t want a big part. I just want to be in a movie!
