Application to work as a film extra in Malta is easy and free. Only apply if you are; reliable, enthusiastic, great at time keeping, flexible, polite, able to work very early, always professional, have good availability. To apply you must have a valid Maltese ID card or tax registration number, a mobile number and an email address.

If you have these qualities and would like to be considered for work in Film, TV, commercials or theatre, complete the form here. The form you complete is your profile. You can log into your profile at any time to add more information and photos. You should familiarise yourself with your profile and make sure its up to date and all sections have been filled out.

By making this application with Brenda Camilleri Casting you are agreeing to our terms of engagement and GDPR Code of Conduct - you can read more about these here. We also highly recommend you read through all the frequently asked questions prior filling our application form to ensure that it is done properly and that you don’t have to go through the process more than once. We look forward to working with you.

Once you get to the location look for the casting department person you are reporting to and sign in. You must always sign in and sign out on your work days otherwise production will not pay you for your work day.

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 sign 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!

Logistics & On-Set Crowd Management

Success on a film set depends on precision and communication. At Brenda Camilleri Casting, we act as the vital link between the production office and the background talent to ensure every filming day runs like clockwork. Our crowd marshalls are a vital extension of our team and ensure all the talent on set is taking care of.

Pre-Production Briefing

Before every shoot day, our casting coordination team issues comprehensive official communications and briefing notes to every background artist and cast member. Regardless of the production size, from independent shorts to international blockbusters, we ensure all talent are fully informed on:

• Call Times & Locations: GPS coordinates and check-in times.

• Wardrobe & Continuity: Detailed instructions on "looks," fittings, and hair/makeup requirements.

• On-Set Protocol: Essential safety information and NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements).

Expert On-Set Coordination

We don’t just book talent; we manage the environment. On-site, our experienced team of Crowd Marshalls and Assistant Casting Coordinators are present to oversee the "Extras Holding" area and the set itself.

Our Marshalls are trained to:

• Guide & Instruct: Provide clear directions to talent to ensure they meet the Director’s vision.

• Liaise with ADs: Work seamlessly with the Assistant Directors (ADs) to move "crowds" efficiently between holding and the camera.

• Talent Welfare: Act as a dedicated point of contact to support talent throughout the duration of the filming day.

By maintaining a professional presence on the ground, we protect the production’s timeline and uphold the high reputation of the Maltese film industry.

On set, as an extension of the Assistant Directors we will be there to guide you depending on the requirements.

Once on the film set please do not touch or remove any props unless you have been given one. That prop will be your responsibility throughout the day. These must be returned to the prop manager at the end of the filming day.

We are constantly looking for new and exciting talent in any shape or form! And the best thing is, no experience is necessary. We have profiles from actors, models, musicians, dancers - the list is endless! Always be sure to highlight any talents or special skills you have in the skills section of the application form, because you never know what kind of job will come up next!

If you want to start working in film, television or theatre in Malta - wait no further!
