Instant wood store

Last week I spent two days being an extra in a French film and two nights being the first person to sleep in a friend's beautiful straw-bale house. While I was away, Alex and Laura made this.


A couple of mornings cutting and splitting wood, and it's already one third full. We've never been so prepared for winter.

Do they have extras agencies here as in the UK or was it a word of mouth call for the film? My extras work is the only thing I miss from the UK :-)

I think a bit of both. They called us this time, 'cos we went for a casting a couple of years ago. But I think most people heard about it through the Sud Ouest. I'll let you know next time...

Thanks Alex. I asked Equity before I left the UK but they didn't know and I had no luck trawling through the Internet here mainly because at the time my French wasn't good enough so I gave up.

I hope the writing's progressing too :-)
