All the jobs we offer are paid - and the amount paid varies depending on your role and the production. For example, a background extra may expect to be paid around €70 euros per day, however a featured role may earn more than €100 per day! Please note that in most films 15% tax is deducted at source and paid on your behalf by the production. We suggest you start as an extra, unless you have examples of acting to a higher standard. Either way, it’s always possible to work upwards in pretty big projects!

We always aim to respond to any emails directed to us using the email talent@brendacamilleri.com. Once your profile is fully complete, we will begin to consider you for upcoming projects. Please note that we do get a large variety of jobs, some small and some large. The terms will always be advised to you on a job by job basis and you will have the option to opt in or out of the job. For our terms and conditions please see the relevant section.

Once you get to the location look for the person you are reporting to and sign in- get your release form. Shoot days can be tough. Usually they involve long hours, a lot of standing around, and repeating the same things over and over again - but this doesn't mean they won't be fun! If you’re expected to be working all day, you will usually be fed and watered on location, and the other extras/crew will always be more than happy to talk to you about the shoot. At the end of the day, when the Crowd Marshall lets you know the filming is finished, simply head to the queue to change back into your own clothes and get your release form signed out- it’s that simple!

In addition to the tasks involved during the day, it’s always worth noting what the weather could be like - some shoots are built around being out on a sunny location all day, so it would make sense to bring sunscreen to avoid slow-roasting yourself! In the same token, some shoots could take place at night when the temperature drops significantly - the bottom line is, always be prepared. 

One important thing to remember is our guidelines for working on set: No phones, no photos, No press conversations. These are VERY important guidelines, and not adhering to them could land you in a lot of trouble with the production company, particularly in the case of big movie productions. On some productions, we will ask you to hand in your phones to the Assistant Director, in order to ensure that the guidelines can be followed effectively.

Before every filming day, the casting team will make sure that each background artiste and cast member has all the information they need about the shoot - depending on the size of the production. On the filming location, most of the time, the team of Crowd Marshalls will be there to guide you and help you every step of the way!

The casting team will inform you if the production will be needing you to arrive with our hair and make up ready or if you are to arrive with a clean face and hair ready for the make up and hair artists to create your look.

To help get everybody through the process as quickly and efficiently as possible, you can help the team by wearing a top that opens at the front with buttons or a zip. This way your hair and make up will not be affected when you take off your top to put on your costume. This applies for both males and females.

Usually it is only the day before your filming that the casting team will advise you where you need to go and who to speak to first. If you’re travelling by car, we can give you the address of the location, if you are being picked up by production transport the time and pick up point will be given to you.
