Day 1 Part 1 The Feast of Love: My diary of being an Extra in a big Hollywood Film

Being an extra on a big time Hollywood movie was literally one of the most fun things I have done in my whole life! Yes, I know this is a huge statement but it far surpassed my wildest dreams.

DAY ONE: My first day on the set was kind of a hectic one. I had to be on the set at 5:45am. For those of you know me, you know that I rarely get out of bed before 9, and that is usually when I have something really important to do. I am a night owl, I get all my shit done in the evening when the world is quiet and the phone isnt ringing. So I was up late working on my portfolio, and then I realized, holy fucking shit all the clothes that fit the requirements of what I could wear were dirty, so I had to do laundry at 1am.

So I basically dont go to bed until 3:45 and have to be there at 5:45 which means that I get up at 5am have 30 minutes to get ready, and 15 minutes to drive there.

I wake up on time, because I am so excited. Get ready, jump in the car and go. I somehow miraculously found a really easy way to get there from I5 and I was even a little early. We were told that the drivers in the movie had a specific place to check in at Shaver and Mississippi. So when I showed up there were all these 20-30somethings sitting in front of their cars, waiting to get checked in. An hour rolls around, this extremely attractive male named Jason shows up and checks us in. Hes about 510 and wears glasses, has an adorable personality�. I knew that this was going to be a very fun day.

So we all meander our way to wardrobe and makeup to get checked in, and styled up. I am wearing this brown sleeveless American Apparel shirt with a cute jean skirt. I get to wardrobe, and they decide to put me in the UGLIEST fucking button down shirt to go over my brown shirt that I have ever seen in my life. I am slightly upset by this, but according to wardrobe it was my fault for only bringing 3 outfit changes. Now, I am no fashion snob but this is seriously the ugliest shirt, it almost looks like a 2nd hand Hawaiian shirt (material wise) and pattern wise it looks like somebody puked an off brown stripe on a jean stripe pattern.

Anyway, so my hair is looking pretty curly and hair and make say they love it� So I am on my way to the extras holding area which consists of a huge cafeteria looking room across the street from the fresh pot caf�� where the film is being created. There is a temporary Fresh Pot set up to help customers in the area. Then while in the Extras holding area, I realize that there are only 55 extras. I now realize that I have been chosen out of 1500 people, to be 1 out of 55 for the first days of shooting. I then feel very special!!

Ok, so we go to Craft services (movie lingo for catering) and they have about a million different delicious things for you to eat. Fruit, eggs benidict , lox and bagels, omelets, and like 15 hot dishes, cereal, you name it.


DAY ONE .... TO BE CONTINUED
