I was an unpaid extra in a straight-to-video movie. Nobody was in it, unless you know who Michelle Greene is. I even had a line, though it didn’t make it into the movie I don’t think (although I can be seen in a courthouse scene; I was in the front row).
Everyone was an extra; no random bystanders. No one was paid or required to sign anything.
(Here it is.) Didn’t realize it was actually set where it was filmed. Or that Michelle Greene has been working steadily since then. And now I see it was a TV movie. That wasn’t their plan when they started. It was supposed to be a movie movie. Never actually saw the whole thing. My friend who was with me had a brief chat with one of the other main actors, and asked, “so, what else have you been in?” The reply was “Oh, LOTS of things.” I’ve never seen her in anything else, ever.
