    • Give other people a chance and don’t be an asshole by posting all your personal information on the internet for everyone to see. Nice job.

  2. Filming has been confirmed in Wilmington OH at the former DHL location. They started yesterday. The cast is possibly staying at the General Denver hotel in Wilmington as well.

  3. I thought I was going out of town this week. I stood in line for six hours at the Holiday Inn in Independence, Ohio and so you already have my photo. Today is Monday August 8th so I know you still need extras or crew. I have shot video in the us and over seas in a DVDpro format and have worked on laser shows both here and overseas for various events and venues. I have loaded trucks, packed trucks, fun a fog machine , set up props and helped build props for the rock hall and the science museum. My experience with working as an extra includes THOSE LIPS THOSE EYES, filmed in Cleveland Heights and ONE TRICK PONY in a scene shot at the airport behind Paul Simon . call me at 216 991-1922 or 216-577-8342 cell.
