This submission form is for general background roles, which means they're open to any gender, ethnicity, ages 18 and older. You must have graduated from high school and not be attending classes at the time of submission. If we have any roles available for minors, we'll post for that separately.

General background roles pay $129.60/8. The pay rate is a flat rate for any time worked up to 8 hours (it is not an hourly rate), with time + 1/2 after 8 hours. If we book you with your vehicle to be parked on set, there will be a $35 bump added to your pay. No red or white vehicles, please.
