FILM PRODUCTION NOTE FOR EXTRAS 12/12/09

We need at least 200 movie extras to pull the scene off. If you have  
friends and family whom you know will enjoy the experience, please  
extend an invitation to them to attend. We will be serving hot  
chocolate, tea and coffee to keep you warm. Also, the doors to the  
Arts Center of the Capital Region will be open for you to stay warm  
when we are not filming.

This scene is by far the most exciting and highly anticipated  
production I have ever done. This will be a fun thing to do with the  
family. To give you an idea of what it might look like, I would like  
to share a few lines from the screenplay:

"In the gloomy dark, lighted candles appear. They come from all  
directions and glow like a small galaxy of flickering stars. The  
town's people with their tiny lights file around the stable and come  
close to the Nativity Scene."

The manger will be set up in the heart of Monument Square in Troy NY.  
We will film several wide angle shots of groups of people approaching  
with candle lights. As the families and friends gather around the  
Nativity Scene, the town sing "O Holy Night" together.

I am thrilled to announced that the San Diego based band, Future of  
Forestry, has granted the permit to use their music for this SAG  
signatory production.
