i just leave a screening of strictly background at the new hampshire film expo . this be one of the most sincere and touch documentary i have see in a long time . the basic premise carry u to hollywood and into the life of background artist and or extras to u lay people . extra be the truly unsung hero of the movie business . without background player and we wouldn not have movie . it a really simple film that give an honest glimpse of the life these folk live . some do it for fun and some do it to break into the business and some do it for a few extra buck . all the individual interview have a true love of make movie and even if it a set dressing . a the movie progress it informative of the movie making process and but at the same time it emotional in the sense that we be follow the hope and dream of all these extra . some make it and some do not . one gentleman live in a rented storage unit for $ 100 a month . we go to cast call and job and spec and where an extra go to a set in the hope they might be need that day . by the end of the movie i realize i be root for all of them to get that next job . the director do a great job of draw u into these life and the emotional roller coaster that go along with this kind of work . not an easy task in our cynical society . it funny and interesting and at time heartbreaking . i highly recommend this film to any kind of cinema fan as well a anyone who be curious about the real hollywood .
