African American Paid Extras Needed in Austin
A TV pilot is currently filming in the Austin TX area and production is looking for some real life Krump dancers! Also, they are looking for fans of Krump dancing for a party scene they will be filming.
For those that do not know what krumping is… it’s a exaggerated form of dance that is not choreographed and is usually done freestyle especially in the form of dance battles.It is a form of street dance whose origins trace back to the Los Angeles area and the movement has spread across the nation.
If you are a Krumper in the Austin Texas area, casting directors may be interested in talking to you about inclusion in a dance scene filming this month.
This is for work on the “American Crime” TV pilot whose story depicts racial tensions brought up during a murder trial. The pilot is created by “12 Years a Slave” creator, John Riddley and is being created for the ABC Network.
Those cast will work on FRIDAY 3/21/14 (tentative) in the Austin Texas area.
Pay rate is $200.00 for 8 hours plus overtime paid after 8 hours (if necessary).
If interested, please follow the instructions below. The casting directors for this project are On Location Casting.
You must have open availability day or night. There are no call times set yet. Those selected will receive call times via email. The shoot may start very early morning or go into the night.
