While looking for jobs yesterday, my Mom gave me the idea of being a movie extra, as sort of a part-time, fun thing to do. I'd love to be a movie extra once; I hear the pay is good and you get to be in a movie, which would be pretty cool. So I looked into it a little more.
While Chicago isn't necessarily the first city you think of when it comes to movie production, more movies are produced in Chicago than you think. As this eHow article mentions, Chicago has a bustling and vibrant film community. As the "How to Be a Movie Extra in Chicago" article mentions, the Chicago Film Office is a great resource for finding movies filming or filmed in the city, casting calls, and a list of upcoming filmings. The Chicago Film Office also has a list of famous movies made in Chicago.
If you are interested in becoming a movie extra, Craigslist's tv/video/film section is a good place to keep looking for job posts, as well as the Chicago Film Office.
