Holiday Film Shooting In Duluth, Looking For Background Actors
Calling all holiday movie lovers, this could be a fun opportunity for you. A Christmas movie will be filming in Duluth beginning later this month - and you could be in it!
Lately, there have been a bunch of projects that have filmed in Duluth and surrounding areas. For example, a comedy television pilot recently wrapped filming in Chisholm. The show only filmed one episode but the town provided the perfect backdrop needed for the show!
The show is called Canusa Street, by the way. It could be picked up for a full series which would be really cool considering it was filmed right here in the Northland. We will have to wait and see later if the pilot was a hit.
Back in April, a movie was filming in the area with production looking for some locals to become extras! We don't know much about the film but we do know that it might be on a big network at some point.
Now, yet another movie is filming in the area. There aren't a lot of details as of now but we do know it is a Christmas film and production is looking for Duluthians to become background actors for a day or two.
The movie will be filming beginning on Monday, May 30th and will continue through Thursday, June 16th. Extras will be compensated about $100 bucks for ten hours of work. You do not have to have acting experience to be an extra in this film.
To apply, submit the following information to northlandcasting@gmail.com:
- Full name
- Phone number
- Availability
- A recent selfie
You do not need to be available for the entire duration of filming. The film needs extras every day that the film is shooting but if you apply to become a background actor, you will only work for a day or two.
Who doesn't love a good Christmas movie? I am not sure about the plot what I do know is that you really can't go wrong with a cheesy holiday movie! Plus, Duluth is the perfect backdrop for a holiday movie.
This isn't the first time that a Christmas movie has been filmed in Minnesota, either. Like I said, Duluth and Minnesota as a whole provides the perfect backdrop as it is. A romantic holiday movie filmed in Isanti, Minnesota a few years back.
The film went on to air on Lifetime, which is a big and prominent channel. The movie focuses on the love story between two realtors who are competing for the same listing. They go to extreme lengths to get the listing and as we all know, they fall in love.
It is called The Christmas Listing and you can watch it right now! It is available to rent or buy on Amazon. It is a fun and cheesy watch and I love it. I have a feeling this movie will be just as good!
