Job Summary

“THE PREMIERE” is a short suspense drama, directed by Enni Red and Darren Henderson co-produced by Red films & Bina Film. We are seeking 200-250 background extras to fill Lancaster Grand Theatre audience during filming. No acting experience required.

Job Description

THE PREMIERE follows a celebrated British film director attending a regional film festival premiere of his latest work. What begins as a triumphant homecoming filled with red carpet glamour and audience adoration takes an unexpected turn during the post-screening Q&A session.

Set against the backdrop of a charming local cinema, the film explores themes of truth, perception, and the cost of fame. When past and present collide in the most public of settings, long-buried secrets threaten to unravel a carefully constructed reputation.

This intimate character study examines the complex relationship between artists and their audiences, questioning how well we really know our heroes and what happens when the carefully maintained facade begins to crack.

Want to be a part of our production? We need 200+ extras to help us fill the beautiful Lancaster Grand and we want YOU to be one of them!

Job Requirements

  • Must be available for filming dates (half day 27th July OR half day both 20th and 27th July AND/OR afternoon 26th July)
  • Ability to follow direction and maintain continuity during multiple takes
  • Please only apply if you can commit to the filming schedule (there are options with minimum and longer commitment).
