A Blogging Paradise
We've been working hard these past few months to bring you the EXTRAS Blog, designed to get you even closer to the action... which might be hard when you're used to being on set! In the coming weeks, months and years, we'll be posting fresh and exciting content for you to gossip about... 'How to be the Best Extra'... 'How to Write a Blockbuster Script'... are just a taster of what is to come.
If there is something that you always wanted to know about Film, TV, Drama, Working as an Extra, etc, then please get in touch using our contact form and starting with the words...
‘In the Blog I would like to see…’
