Ep 3: Being a Supporting Artist aka Extra Life

from The Theatre Mum · host hollylucas01

Welcome back to The Theatre Mum! On episode 3, we're joined by Jamie Ledwith, Holly's somewhat creative husband. Jamie, who now works as a photographer, has dabbled in so many different areas of the industry over the years, it's impossible to fit it all in one podcast. So in this episode, we focus on life as a supporting artist, aka a film and TV extra. Filled with plenty of stories from our first-hand experience, we chat about the (un)glamorous day-to-day life of being an extra, the benefits and realities of working on a professional film set, and simply, how to do it yourself! It's an hour packed with honest facts, figures and frivolity - not necessarily in that order.
