Here is another upcoming indie non-union ultra low budget drama shooting in the CHICAGOLAND area. You should have some acting experience. What a great opportunity for 3 young actors~who do you know???

All Actors Ultra Low Rate of Pay is: $150 for the day (up to 8 hours) ultra low budget and taken care of on set. Ultra low budget does not mean ultra low success. Many films make it big! It's the Director, Storyline, Talent, Production, Crew, etc. that has the makings for a great product.

We worked it out so that you will be handed a check at the end of your work day! No waiting.

Meals and parking will be provided as usual. Need to have your own transportation for the different locations in Chicago and suburbs. Most likely Elgin area.

SHOOT DATE(s): Nite scenes scheduled for Tuesday, June 23rd (with the exception of needing LIV one more day). 'Tentatively' they have this day scheduled for July 3rd.

We are casting a younger version of our protagonist played by someone who appears 6-8 years old. Needs to have a current work permit now or in the process. Also casting a younger version of his parents.

***

Young OLIVER has 3 lines. This would all be filmed on the same night near Elgin. Wrap most likely by 10:00 PM. It will not be an early call time. Night scenes. His guardian needs to be there the entire time. Caucasian. Brown hair and eyes. (1 day)

Young LIV: 20--25 years old to play young mom of Oliver. Prefer brown eyes. Caucasian. Brown curly hair that would be preferred (2 days)

Young WILL: 20--25 years old to play young dad of Oliver. Caucasian. Prefer brown eyes. Will is 6' 0" with dirty blond hair
(1 day)

***

Those characters are Young Will and Liv (Young Oliver's parents) and they'll be a 22 y/o man and 22 y/o woman. We will also need Liv for a second day, tentatively scheduled for July 2nd.

We have photos we need to reference but must keep confidential for now.

Since you would be required to deliver a few lines, if you have a reel or sample, please forward that also, along with your resume.

Thanks~

The Director was an extra years ago here in Chicago. She is amazing. This is the same film we had a post for the female Stand In for. We will know by Monday who is selected for that.

Please email a few current color photos/headshot with only you in the picture. Current hair style and color. Face and full body.

LAUNCH YOUR CAREER

If you have been on the fence about this event or it is new to your eyes, please consider this post on this for 2027 or refer someone that may be interested.

Monday, June 1 at 7:00 PM Central Time is the zoom session.

There were several interested that could not get scheduled for this year. Let them know you are with ExtraOrdinary Casting so they can hold a spot for you. They love our people 🙂 but can only work with so many. These book up fast. This one is to prep for NEXT year (4th of July weekend). If you were interested in this year and did not register yet, you can ask them; however, they may be full.

The ratio of these agents, trainers and potential talent is tight so you can have one-on-one sessions also on that weekend. This includes a whole year + of coaching while you are prepping or if you are signing late for this year~coaching afterwards. If you did sign up for this July 4th weekend or even last year, email [email protected] so we can meet you in person also and help get you on the right track. Everyone that attended has had no regrets and has had success with top agents and starting to get great work. All of your questions will be answered and catered to your needs.

We would love to spend the 4th of July weekend with you if they select you! If you would like a friend or family to enjoy the showcase with you, the motel rooms are very nice. Should be a good time.

You will get in front of and be able to talk to the TOP agents that are difficult to get signed with. You will recognize most of them from Chicago. Why are the doors not opening for you or your child? Are you channeling your efforts according to your wants?
If you already signed up for LAUNCH or will be and would like a one on one meeting with us on one of your breaks that weekend, we can arrange it for you. Starting as an extra and working with many producers and directors for 2 decades, they know what they are looking for. Maybe you just want to overcome on-stage jitters or sharpen your skills. Maybe you want to know the differences with union vs. non union. ​Exclusivity? Maybe you want to know why your photo or resume is not effective. Looking for a top notch agent? EMAIL US your cell # if you were accepted for this seminar at
[email protected]

Whether you want to stay on the 'extra' gigs and get more opportunities or advance to a speaking role...or maybe you have another hidden talent/passion like singing, modeling...we can help get you to your desired goals or just want to have more enjoyment out of the process...we get you and have your back.
You do not need to have experience at this point, just the desire and workable talent.

They have almost as many years in this aspect of the entertainment industry than our 20 years. We have never promoted anyone else. There are a lot of scams out there. These good folks work with you from the beginning and after. Like having your own personal coach as they understand every situation is different.

We had a few sign up these past few years and ​they would do it again. It was worth the investment in themselves. Had only good words to say. If you'd like to ask one of your peers about it, let ExtraOrdinary Casting know and I am sure we can make that happen. You may want to hear their testimonial since you may know them.

This session is private just for us and we will be attending the first part of the zoom meeting.
ZOOM meetings are being scheduled now to see if this is something you would like to attend.
They will give you all of the details you need and a short interview or audition session.
