Following the casting call, there will be a workshop on “Good Practices of being an Extra or Production Assistant for Movies.”  The workshop will take place on Sunday, June 28 at 5 p.m. at the Humboldt-Del Norte Film Commission located at 1385 8th Street in Arcata.  The workshop is a free public event held by Redwood Curtain Casting and the Humboldt-Del Norte Film Commission.  For more information, email commissioner@filmhumboldtdelnorte.org.
