Strong Island

There are literally thousands of people in Michigan who have been working as extras since the beginning of the Michigan film boom of the past few years. But, these people aren't all just aspiring actors. They're your mailman. They're the clerk at your local supermarket. They're the waitress at the National Coney Island that you go to at 3 am. They're your neighbors. Your friends. Your relatives. In fact, if you live in southeastern Michigan, it's highly unlikely that you don't know someone who has worked as an extra. Join us as we flip the film industry upside down and turn these extras into the stars. —Anonymous Without background actors, or extras, the motion picture industry wouldn't exist. These are the people who give life to the worlds created within the stories that you love. It's time to let the world know about the lives and dreams of those who fill these roles. —Anonymous Nah....This thought came when watching La La land... Obviously, the plot must have main characters but the extras in the background start to be more and more distracting. The plot will be aspiring actors going on auditions, like Lala land, but focus in on a fun a creative narrative of shifting the focus to the extras, non documentary style... Needs a brilliant mind for sure... —Robert Sletten
