FILM: Extras needed
Production is underway in Little Rock on the feature film "The Hit," a coming-of-age "dramedy," inspired by a true story, about a teenage girl who joins a boy's high school football team. Primary filming locations include Parkview Arts and Science Magnet High School in Little Rock; the film will also feature members of the state championship-winning Parkview Patriots football team.
Additional scenes, including several football games, will be filmed in Little Rock, and locals are needed as extras, especially for football scenes that will be filmed on Friday at Pinnacle View Middle School. ("There are bleachers to fill, and all are welcome.") Register with the film's background casting director, Warren McCullough, via email, wjmcasting@gmail.com.
