Thank You A Lot

I have a lot of items on my Austin Bucket List, but I didn't foresee this opportunity coming.

 I was on my favorite Austin website, and saw an ad for extras needed for a local feature film. I emailed them with interest and they sent me all the details. Mainly, they were filming a rock show at the Mohawk and needed an audience to wear hipster/grunge/trendy/rocknroll/hippie clothes. Done. I brought three dresses and they picked this one:

The movie is called Thank You A Lot and is about a music agent--and has all local actors and musicians-- as far as I can tell.

It was awesome! They pulled me almost immediately to drink empty beer bottles with another girl I met and "pantomime" talking. We kind of whispered so we could still have a conversation and look natural. It was really fun! We had to re do the scene about 8 times. I don't really know how much I am in the actual view of the camera.

Then, after another hour or so, all the extras (about 30 of us) got called in to watch a rock show. We saw a real local band, Hundred Visions, and they played one song, which we had to go crazy for---8 times. Luckily, for me, I was focused in on the drummer, Eric.

so cute.

Overall, I had an amazing time doing something I thought I'd never do (acting!). It was unpaid..but only four hours and still a blast.

Awesome.
