Casting Directors will begin casting extras for the feature film "Blackbeard" in mid-August. They will be needing both kids and adults in the Des Moines, Iowa region.
What the casting directors are looking for:
They use nearly all types and ages, and need to make the scenes look like real places, so that means everyone. Because of the nature of film - long days and a lot of waiting - they will likely only use kids aged 10 and older. A parent or guardian must be with a child on set. Which means it's a good idea for a parent to also submit themselves.
Special Needs:
If you look like a hardened, biker-gang type (or can turn yourself into one), they are interested in you! Please send a .jpg photo of yourself (and your bike if you have one).
How To Submit For Extras (on-going general extras list):
You will need to email your information with an attached .jpg photo to the casting directors.
Criteria For The Photo:
It MUST meet the following parameters or your submission will be rejected-
1) .jpg format
2) under 150 kb
3) attached to your email
If you do not know how to make your photo small enough, click on your photo software HELP button and ask how to "resize". It must look like you do NOW. A head & shoulder shot is fine. It does NOT need to be a professional photo. Please send separate emails for each person if you are subitting more then one person.(Do NOT combine family members into one email.)
