Subject: RE: BS: Films in your town (Froggy Doo)
Screen Gems film and television studio is located in my town, so yes... quite a few films and television shows have been and are filmed here.
My son is scheduled to work as an extra on an independent film being made here called, The Beautiful Ordinary. It'll be his first time working as an extra, but his gig is more as someone who works beind the camera than in front of it, do he's mostly doing it to meet people and make contacts. Interestinly, it was our real estate agent who told us about using extra work to get involved in the industry. We're finding that in a film town, almost everyone has some kind of connection to the industry. And most of the young women around here look like they're just waiting to get "discovered". LOL
We took a tour of the studio a few weeks ago. It was pretty interesting.
