A bulletin from
Janelle Monae's MySpace put the call out for extras for the shooting of her video for "Many Moons".
They plan to cast over 100 extras for the video and are hoping for 20 of those to be paid extras. The bulletin calls for a "special brand of enthusiasm" as well as a desire to "want to be apart of this historic project."
If you are interested, you need to e-mail casting[at]wondalandarts[dot]com. You must include your name, e-mail address and photograph and you must be available in Los Angeles on June 27 and 28.
The video will be shot on Stage 9A at Sunset Bronson Studios on 5800 West Sunset Blvd. If any BBB readers participate, please let me know (and take pictures if you are allowed to do so).
