I signed up to be an extra in a movie. They’re not paying anything, but it’s only one Saturday and they give you free food. I’ve never done this before, and figured it might be an interesting experience.
“Jamie Babbit (But I’m a Cheerleader, Gilmore Girls) is directing a new feature film, The Itty Bitty Titty Committee. Based on a story by Babbit, Committee centers on Hannah (Diaz), who finds her purpose in life after she hooks up with a radical underground feminist group.”
I’ll be part of a crowd of pro-gay marriage protesters. Sadly, I didn’t fit any of the more colorful possibilities, such as plastic surgery patients (I don’t have “large breasts waiting for post op, and collagen-injected lips”), security guards (I’m not “burly”), Silver Lake hipsters (I don’t “look edgy — tattos, piercings, and colored hair”), topless punk girls (obvious), bridal party (I don’t own a suit), or (I’m not making this up) one of twenty-five lesbian Martha Stewarts.
It’s not for a few weeks. I’ll let you know how it goes.
