one department, thousands of faces
Brenda Camilleri has helmed the Extras Department for the last 20 years providing extras casting services for both local and international producers and directors. Brenda has been entrusted to coordinate the department of more than a hundred projects filming in Malta since 2001, heading extras department casting teams - from small to larger teams with up to 50 people; for a variety of project sizes - from productions which require only a handful of extras to blockbusters requiring over 25,000 extra days.
Whatever the requirements of the project are, Brenda works to put forth scalable solutions with the most suitable team & talent available to the islands. Seeking a wide range of talent all year round, from the beautiful to the characterful, the skilled, the weird, the wonderful, Brenda works tirelessly to put faces to the Director`s vision.
Casting for a background can be a particularly challenging task, as it requires the selection of numerous individuals who seamlessly blend into the world of the story. Brenda’s extensive filmography is a testament to her ability to excel in various genres and production scales, including the demanding task of casting and coordinating projects with tens of thousands of extra days.
Notable films on which she has worked as a Casting Coordinator include the latest “Gladiator 2”, Dir. Ridley Scott (2024); “Murder on the Orient Express”, Dir.Kenneth Branagh (2017); “Assassin’s Creed”, Dir. Justin Kurzel (2016); “Thugs of Hindostan”, Dir. Vijay Krishna Acharya (2018); “Agora”, Dir.
