CALLING ALL CHILDREN.
If you have a child, grandchild, niece, nephew, neighbor, friend, etc. that wants to get into the film industry, NOW IS THE TIME!
There are several ADULT background artists in our database. CTM is currently expanding to include more children(minors) in our database.
Background work is THE best way to get experience on set and to see how a set is run. Being an background artist is an AMAZING way to learn set lingo and everything that goes into making tv shows and movies.
Sign your child up NOW to enter our database! We have a lot of minor roles upcoming,
Common questions we get about children working on set ANSWERED:
Q. What is an extra / background artists?
A. A person who is used to bring scenes alive in film. Background artists are normally non-speaking roles.
Q. What is a photodouble?
A. A person who resembles an actor in height, build, hair color, and complexion, and is used to film in their place in scenes where the actor is not the focus
Q. Do you need experience to work in film?
A. Experience is ALWAYS a plus but not necessary! We book people who have never been on a set before all the way to booking people who have worked in the industry for year.
Q. How much do MINOR(children) background actors get paid?
A. It varies per project, but all minors will make the same rate as ADULT background actors with the hours being the only exception. If a standard adult background rate is $150/12, minors will be paid $150/10.
Q. What does $150/12 and $150/10 mean?
A. It means you will be paid $150 dollars total for the hours of work on set. Adults are almost always guaranteed the rate for 12 hours, whereas minors are guaranteed the rate for 10 hours (or less depending on age of minor). You are guaranteed the rate even if you only work 1 hour!
Q. My child doesn’t have a GDOL, can he still submit?
A. YES! Getting a GDOL is FREE and VERY QUICK!!! You can text Jess at 470.970.0615 any time and she can walk you through the process. (Don’t let the GDOL hold you back from applying).
Q. Will my child get be on set with other actors?
A. Though we aren’t able to disclose the specifics of the scene, your child will be on a real set with our real crew and real actors.
