EXTRAS NEEDED FOR LOCAL FILM!
To all interested in being in "Rigged":
Thanks to everyone for your interest in this film. We are looking for extras to be involved in the making of an underground boxing film, think "Million Dollar Baby" meets "Fight Club." This is your chance to be a part of a major motion picture being shot here in KC!
Here's the schedule for all four days:
Date: Saturday July 15th Location: underneath the 7th street bridge between Southwest Blvd and I-35 in Kansas City, KS (RSVP for directions) Parking: on location, but dirt roads or off-road Time: 08:30 PM The Scene: Underground boxing match between "Henry the Hacksaw" and a female boxer, "Kid Vixen" (our hero) Wardrobe: Dress rough and tough. Dark clothes and leather are great, but t-shirts and jeans can work as well. No logos.
Date: Thursday July 20h AND Friday July 21st Location: Clarion Hotel 9103 E. 39th Street Kansas City, MO, 64133 Parking: on location Time: 06:00 PM The Scene: The FINAL BATTLE between our hero, "Kid Vixen", and the villain "Richter" ... an epic boxing match Wardrobe: Dress can be casual, or classy and upscale ... this is a legal boxing match this time. Dark clothes are great, but suits and ties work as well. No logos. Also: G-Love from the band G-Love & Special Sauce will be appearing in the scene Friday night!
Date: Saturday July 22nd Location: parking lot at intersection of 11th St and Mulberry in the West Bottoms in Kansas City, MO Parking: on location Time: 08:30 PM The Scene: An illegal street race Wardrobe: Dress rough and tough. Dark clothes and leather are great, but t-shirts and jeans can work as well. No logos.
If you can only come one of the four nights, please come Friday the 21st ... this is the biggest scene in the movie.
I'll try to answer all other questions here:
- What will extras be doing? -- Each of these scenes takes place at an illegal boxing match (or street race). Extras are playing attendees at these events. They need to be excitedly watching the events in question. Energy is the most important thing. - Can under 18 attend? -- We're looking for crowd members attending underground boxing matches, which means children are unfortunately out. Teenagers that look older are welcome, however. Parents, keep in mind that this is an R-rated film with adult language, themes, and violence. - Is there any pay? -- "Rigged" is an independent film, and much of the cast and crew on "Rigged" are working on a volunteer basis. Extras are as well. - Can I bring friends? -- Absolutely!!! We need all the help we can get to make these scenes as exciting as possible. Tell everyone you know. - What if Im late? No problem! Any time you have to make it is much appreciated!
If you are available any of these days, please write RiggedExtras@yahoo.com with RSVP and the date(s) in the subject line or message. And feel free to write back with any questions not covered here, or call at 785-979-3789.
Thanks! - Stephen Deaver UPM, "Rigged"
