Paid Background extras wanted in Jackson Mississippi for “Get On Up!” which is currently filming in JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI.
The scene filming will be from 1962 and casting directors are seeking extras who can look like they belong in that period. Men who have short hair or are bald and women with natural hair that can be styled to look like a 1960’s hairstyle. They are seeking Caucasian and African American men and women who are 18 to 60 years old, please see the info below because it is actually 2 separate notices, one for Caucasian extras and another for African American extras.
Filming will take place next Tuesday mid day through nigh time. Please only apply if you are available to work through into the night. Also, casting directors are only looking for new faces, people who have not worked on this project. Extras casting is being handled by Tammy Smith Casting.
