Atlanta, GA- With school out, kids can see how movies are made and also earn some summer cash. Extras usually make $8 to $10 per hour with overtime. They also get meals and snacks. There are several productions casting children and teens right now.
A few months ago, Georgia updated its process for children under 18 to work in film and entertainment. It takes about two days to get a permit. The process is all online, and we explain it to you here: Your child MUST do this before they can appear in a movie or TV production.
If your child is interested in working film, remember there is a lot of "hurry up and wait." You may sit for hours in one area, then move, wait some more, and then shoot the exact same scene numerous times. Sometimes you can't have a phone or electronic device, so you may need to bring a book or something else to occupy your time.
Here's a major movie that is looking for young extras right now from CAB Castings, LLC. It's for paid extras for the new feature film "Little." It pays $88 for 10 hours of work. Children will be on set for 10 hours, and food and snacks will be provided. Here's the official release:
