Calling extras to Cleveland in October!

UPDATE: DUE TO SCHEDULING CONFLICTS, WE WILL FILM THIS SCENE ONLY ON OCTOBER 20.  THE 10/13 SHOOT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.  WE HOPE TO SEE YOU ON 10/20!

We are planning to shoot some "outside the castle" shots on Saturday, October 13th and again on October 20th.  We will even get a couple drone shots!  Our location is Squire's Castle at the North Chagrin Reservation Metropark in Willoughby Hills, Ohio.

We need extras of all ages - as many as possible - dressed in medieval "royal ball" attire.  (See the photo below from our Charlevoix shoot).  If you don't have that, a prom or homecoming suit or gown is fine.

These will be all day filming sessions because our schedule depends on the weather and on other visitors to this public site.  In fact, if there is a wedding, we will have to get out of the way and wait until it's done.  We will play it by ear.

Extras should arrive by noon.  We will begin filming their scenes at 12:30 PM if we can.  We will certainly wrap it up no later than 7:30 PM since that's when it gets dark.  If you can only come for part of the day that's fine.

We will be there rain or shine but we can't shoot if there is more than a little rain, which is why we're planning on two Saturdays. Please let Greg know if you can come either date.  Call or text: 614-562-0992.  Email: gregbussey@earthlink.net.

You will be paid $1.  No food will be provided, so please bring your own lunch.  Please bring your release form (which is linked on our "Be In The Movie!" page above).  Actors under 18 need a parent's signature.  We will try to arrange transportation from Columbus and Lansing if you need it.

Parents are welcome to come, watch, or be in the movie too.  In addition to extras, we also need helpers to move props around and to hold the reflector during filming.

Are you interested in these special roles?
- The Royal Guard has 23 words to say.  We will provide his costume.
- An adult young maiden needs to refuse to give money to a beggar.

It will be another fun day on the set, this time at a real castle!  Pray for no rain, little wind, no weddings, lots of cloud cover, and many extras.

Please come be an extra, and pass the word!  Call with any questions you may have.
