i heard some filming was taking place for something called ‘&sons’ in worcester college, so my bf and i headed over there. we expected that it’d be a cordoned off area or something but no - they were just filming in the entryway. we got ushered aside and made to stand with the actual film crew, and seconds later the actor Bill Nighy in full old man makeup ran right past, followed by the cameras and boom mics and shouting ’ANDY!! ANDY!!’ so guys, think of me when that scene airs. i was right there. nighy had a nice suit.

“I think you’re a great DP, I don’t care what the producer said about you“
Among the other extras
“You know, they’re not even doing headshots for us. Yeah, on the listing they said they’d do headshots but they lied. They’re just paying us with a credit.”
“What? This is a movie shoot? I’m here to hang out. I just saw a lot of people and came here to hang out.”

A few years ago I got into background acting as a hobby/"side hustle". I am in a few episodes of HBO's The Deuce as "Lower East Side type" and in the High Fidelity reboot with Zoe Kravitz as "concert goer", among other less notable roles. It is a pretty fun way to spend a Saturday as long as you're patient and aren't expecting to ~make it big~.
They bring you in for a fitting and then day-of you and all the other extras are herded around like cattle and yelled at to stand certain places at certain times. Other than that you're sitting in a chair reading a book or talking to the other extras. I made something like $160 an episode back in like 2018- not much but decent if you feel like getting paid to stand on a street corner in a funny outfit which is something I might do for free anyway. My biggest let-down in this era was getting asked to potentially be Jared Leto's stand-in in that vampire movie he was in. They were gonna pay me $500 a day to stand on an X while Mr. Jared was in his trailer. Sigh...

i saw this milk outside someone’s house and it really made me think how you never see traditional milk bottles anymore. i didn’t know milkmen were still a thing, even. i thought about how easy it would be to take some of the milk. i didn’t take any of the milk.

i see really cool/ funny/ smart people and 90% of the time they just follow me back straight away. it’s one of the joys of not having a big following — you can make more friends with strangers! i think the art of that is lost with influencer culture, because why would you follow a ‘fan’ back straight away (particularly when you have 50k plus of them?) also i’m a ‘rising user’ after posting like 6 times which gives me a huge ego boost. Small App is IN 🙌🙌
