Back on my first experience in the Movies

The film is not for me ... Although with hindsight I spent a day of fun and interesting (hopefully you were there Erika) I could not do my job.

I'll tell you briefly my day. It starts around 10 am at 177 rue St Honore (Louvre Rivoli), I sign my contract contained and give my bank details. For information, extras are paid 66 € net day minimum and the average fare is 93 €. We have been entitled to compensation of € 15 extra because we have not had lunch.

Once the paperwork settled, I head for the costume that I present the 3 outfits that I brought. Colorful style gilded youth (as claimed), I finished with white pants, shirt Ralph Lauren Rose and a pair of Gucci Sneackers (just that). I began talking with other extras, most hoping to break into film with the extras and doing odd jobs at hand as waitresses, hostesses, Djs etc. ...

The rest of the day will be divided between long waiting times, and made repeated dozens of times. Balance of the day: exhaustion. The day will end with an hour late at 21:30.

If you want to make some money and explore the world of cinema, the figure is a great way. You have more or less likely depending on the casting. Note that there is a buffet throughout the day

PS: The film in which I figure is called Monaco (with Fabrice Luchini and Roschdy Zem among others)
