Movie making magic #1

October 7, 2007 – 8:28 am

There was to be an open casting. So exciting. Would they give me lines to say? What would I wear? I thought about it for a split second and the answers came to me: no and clothes. Movie extras are like those extra lines of code Microsoft Word adds in when a Word doc is [...]
