Paid extras needed for feature movie shooting in Kelowna

OKANAGAN – A diverse variety of extras are needed for an upcoming movie that’s filming in the Okanagan.

Okanagan Background Casting is looking for ethnically diverse extras to act as hotel staff and guests, wedding guests, gang members, prisoners and guards, cops, spa customers and nursing home residents.

The paid extra work will take place around Kelowna in June and July for the movie “A Score to Settle.”

A casting call takes place next week May 26 in the Kelowna Sandman Inn from 9 a.m. to noon in the Westbank conference room.

Extras must be B.C. residents and legally entitled to work. Scheduling flexibility is a must for the multi-day film shoot.

John began life as a journalist through the Other Press, the independent student newspaper for Douglas College in New Westminster. The fluid nature of student journalism meant he was soon running the place, learning on the fly how to publish a newspaper.

It wasn’t until he moved to Kelowna he broke into the mainstream media, working for Okanagan Sunday, then the Kelowna Daily Courier and Okanagan Saturday doing news graphics and page layout. He carried on with the Kelowna Capital News, covering health and education while also working on special projects, including the design and launch of a mass market daily newspaper. After 12 years there, John rejoined the Kelowna Daily Courier as editor of the Westside Weekly, directing news coverage as the Westside became West Kelowna.

But digital media beckoned and John joined Kelowna.com as assistant editor and reporter, riding the start-up as it at first soared then went down in flames. Now John is turning dirt as city hall reporter for iNFOnews.ca where he brings his long experience to bear on the civic issues of the day.
