Be Part of the Film Crowd

Make your film debut next week when a Plainfielder shoots scenes in front of City Hall.

Jake Cashill won City Council permission last month to film scenes for “The Broken Bond,” about a woman obsessed with her dentist. One of the scenes calls for lots of extras and will be shot starting early on Sept. 15 outside City Hall. Men, women and children are needed and must be dressed in dark shorts or jeans with dark, solid-colored shirts with no patterns or logos. The idea is to provide a “sea of people” as background for the lead actress, who will be dressed in bright colors to stand out in the crowd.

“It’s supposed to be a ‘Who’s that girl?’ moment,” Cashill said.

There is no pay for extras, but food will be provided and of course the thrill of being part of the creative process of making a film.

Anyone interested should e-mail producer Billy Mulligan at casting333@gmail.com as soon as possible. The day starts at 6 a.m. and most people can leave at 11 a.m. (just in time for the PMUA Environmental Fair in Library Park). Some people may stay on until 3 p.m.

The company has already shot scenes in North Plainfield and will be shooting in Scotch Plains and South Plainfield. In recent weeks, two other films have had scenes shot in the Queen City. Now’s your chance – are you ready for your close-up?
