Fruit Fly extras needed

Leave a reply

CALL FOR EXTRAS! Have you ever wanted to be in the movies? If you have, you can be an extra in the upcoming musical “Fruit Fly”.

We’re seeking extras for our musical feature, Fruit
Fly, by the makers of Colma: the Musical.

We’re shooting this Saturday and Sunday – doing a song called “Public Transit” appropriately enough on Muni one day and BART the other day. We’re looking for extras to play commuters on their way to work in the city. However, the fun part is that our extras actually get to be part of the performance – with some minor lip-syncing to the song and basic choreographed movement (not dance). So it’s a chance to really perform in the film.

The shoot times are Saturday 4/19 from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm on Muni downtown, or Sunday 4/20 from noon to 4 pm on BART.

Anyone interested can email our Associate Producer Krystel at krystelgapasin@yahoo.com. If possible, send a photo, contact number and day available.

Once you email Krystel more info will be emailed to you about the shoot.
