scrapbookbuzz Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 An independently-made movie I was in about a year and a half ago is out on DVD today! Believe me when I say that most of us that worked on and in that film (Breaking Man by Not Ashamed Films) did not think it would hit nationwide distribution EVER. So this is a really cool thing! Anyway, I know that the Hive has a wide and diversified population (mostly anonymous :D ) , so I just thought I'd ask! Other than the one mentioned above, I've been in one other, with my husband, as an extra: Prefontaine (about a track star from the 60s or 70s. What about YOU?

Forget-Me-Not Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Just home movies, most of which I hope will never see the light of day :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosie_0801 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) Yup. My hubby "starred" in a short movie, part of a collection done by a bunch of producers using the same script. I think they were allowed one extra scene beyond that. This was done in Auslan and won best sound track. :D , it's very creepy. He's the one playing sillies with the shower curtain.

simka2 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Yes, but I was a young child. I do know one was about St. Helens. My little brother is at film school right now and just finished shooting his thesis project. It has been fun to watch him direct it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 No, but I was an extra in a couple of episodes of Friday Night Lights, and in the pilot for a really bad show that only lasted about 4 episodes--My Generation. I was also an extra in a series called "Meet Jane," which was eventually cancelled before it even aired. I'd have been more visible in that...so much for my new late-in-life career. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kewb Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Me, no. But my kids are extras in an independent movie that will hopefully be coming out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustybug Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 The year after I graduated high school, I was a lead in an independant movie that was a modernized version of a silent black and white movie. It was really fun and I think back on the experience often! It was called "The Agreement" and I'm not really sure what became of it except it going through a few local festivals.

KristenR Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I had a brief appearance in some witchy/zombie-ish flick. I walked creepily against the foggy background. I just remember the director telling us not to blink as we staggered up to the camera, but the darn fog from the fog machine was making my eyes dry and I felt like they were gonna pop out of my head. I should look it up and see what ever became of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 A few things for church, short segments to go along with a series. I was in one and worked behind the scenes on some of the same segment, mostly writing, and collaborating on the directing. It was a blast.

Bokons Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I was an extra in a movie, as a passenger waiting at an aiport, but I am in the background and very blurry, so you can't tell it's me. Plus the camera passed me by very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengjohnson Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Back in high school I was an extra in the movie Hoosiers. I can point myself out to my kids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlbuchina Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I haven't, but my dh was an extra in the movie Cobb staring Tommy Lee Jones as the baseball player Ty Cobb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeBookBread Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I was an extra in Legally Blonde 2. I even made the screen a couple of times :D I was a "Member of Congress." It was exhausting, I made minimum wage with some overtime, and my feet hurt like crazy. But it was a KICK!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plink Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Nope, but my car was in Jumanji. It was fun to hang around the set for a few days and see how extremely SLOW the process is. Professional actors must eventually loose their minds with all of that waiting and repeating. Gah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) No, but my street is featured nicely in a regular release Hollywood movie, and I don't even live in NYC! lol Edited February 8, 2012 by LibraryLover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chepyl Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 My high school show choir sang in a wedding scene for a made for tv movie. We did not make the final cut. I was in the crowd scene for a football game in the same film. That was interesting, they were retreating actual football plays from the guys career!

I have a copy of this! I also have a copy of Without Limits, the other movie about him. Yes, I'm a running geek. Lately there have been a ton of movies filmed around here, but I certainly haven't been in any. I know a few people who have been involved in those movies in some way though!

Brindee Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 My oldest ds was in an in-store commercial for Nordstroms when he was 2. :) We were there for filming and clothes changes for 8 hours (on a hot day, when I was 8 1/2 months pregnant with 2nd ds), and his part of the commercial (with another little boy and 2 little girls) was about 30 or 45 seconds long! Crazy! Me? I went and volunteered as a "blue shirt" for a local Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. We had a hot catered meal served to us by a local restaurant....at midnight! That was really cool to help with that, especially since it was a family that used to go to our church. I ended up in a couple scenes of the show. Ty Pennington also talked to me! He said, "Can you go over there when the cameras are going?" :D Someone told me to sweep in a certain place while they were taking furniture in, to keep from tracking sand/dirt in. Ty didn't want me in the shots, though, so I moved! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueinNC Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I haven't, but a very good friend of mine played the nurse in the Fugitive with Harrison Ford. She runs a non profit children's theatre now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Well, I'm home from the DVD release party and signing autographs. Very fun thing to do!
