FILM EXTRAS WANTED

GET INVOLVED AS A FILM EXTRA

WW2historical Societies Chairman - Craig advises the society is supporting film work as extras for a film called WEAK 13 for Nick J Townsend.

It’s a rock video set in WW1 and it’s a heavy metal track about loss.

It’s being filmed in Kidderminster by award winning director Chris Stone, with producer Craig Leonard of Props Resources Dept release date feb 14th 2010.There is lots of action, explosions and smoke all set in and around WW1 trenches.
The video is being shot over the next few months using extras from WW2historical society and members of the Bham Pals and A Group.
I’m not sure but think there is filming this weekend as a start 7/8th November.
If you want to volunteer, and this will mean getting your uniforms a bit dirty, with lots of waiting around, but really great fun, then contact Craig.
