Hi reader
I've been a bit slack on maintaining this blog in recent times. Whenever something newsworthy happens, I tend to forget about it when I log onto my machine. Sometimes I even forget that this blog exists. Hopefully, I can turn a corner here. It took me a few attempts to suss out my password.
Anyhow, three years ago, I had posted here about being a movie extra for the movie Bride Flight.
The movie was finally released on DVD recently. I didn't get around to seeing it during screening at the cinema. My parents informed me that I do appear a few times as an extra in the movie. I have since watched this myself, and identified myself in nine instances. It's not my taste in movies, but it's also not everyday that my mug shot appears in the background of a movie.

Day two as an extra for the movie Bride Flight
Yesterday morning, I received a phone call from the casting director Donna. She said I would make a good policeman, and she asked me if I would like to be an extra again. I promptly applied for a day off from my office job, so that I could travel from Dunedin to Oamaru for the filming of new scenes today. I was cast as a policeman extra (wearing an authentic uniform from the 1950's) for the whole day, ..... along with another guy who actually is part of the constabulary in his regular profession!
I met a whole new bunch of extras who were mainly from Oamaru. There were 4 other people from Dunedin, including Pat who gave me a lift from Dunedin - thanks Pat. Everyone was great. I enjoyed the new localities. The crew looked after us again really well. The weather was mainly fine today. One of the crew, Danielle, always had a belt load of batteries around her waist - so we coined her "The Terminator". Danielle and the other crew always made sure we were in the right place and doing the right thing. Everyone was just so friendly and helpful. Filming in New Zealand is expected to be completed over the next month or so.
P.S. A pic with me riding the bicycle appeared on the front page of the local rag on 5/11/2007 as a result of a scene shot from the first day.
