This episode takes place primarily in African American neighborhoods, and we are looking for ALL AGES, from young children to seniors. We do have several scenes for all ethnicities, so please do not let this discourage you from submitting.

FOR GENERAL SUBMISSIONS: PLEASE USE THE GOOGLE FORM, IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. We open every single email submission and manually transfer your info and availability to a spreadsheet, so we strongly encourage you to use the form instead of emailing your submission.

For any parents filling out the availability form for their child, we will reach out to you via email in order to make sure you have a minor work permit for them. OR, you can submit via email (see instructions below). Permits are valid for 1 year from the date of issue, so it’s worth it to get it now, and have it ready to go for any future filming opportunities.

General background roles for ages 16 and older pay $132.80/8. The pay rate is a flat rate for any time worked up to 8 hours (it is not an hourly rate), with time + 1/2 after 8 hours. If we book you with your vehicle to be parked on set, there will be a $35 bump added to your pay. No red or white vehicles, please. Pay rate for minors (15 and younger) is $160/8.
