I responded to their anonymous posting on craigslist for "regular people" to be movie extras (which I have done in the past) and got a call the next day for "an interview".
The minute I walked in, I knew something was shady. The girl behind the glass window was scratching her head and biting her nails non-stop and the "waiting area" was this stifling narrow passage that was no more than 3 feet wide. They had a fan blowing because it was so hot in that narrow waiting area that one could faint and a radio that was blast club music. The door opens and this fast talking fat guy (Brad) starts tellings me how there is work to be had right now and shuffles all these headshots on his desk as if to show me he is handling a lot of talent, and then, there it is..."i have to sign you on right now, so let's get you headshots and full body shot for $200. Put your stuff down and we can do the shoot right now in the next room"
I was like, what da heck!? It was all happing at lightning speed so I told him that I wanted to think abt it and get back to him. He said, "ok, i dont wanna lose you, you are so hot, gimme your hand, im being honest, ill cut you a deal, $100 for 4 shots"... I was so looking for a way outa there! Then he comes down on the price even more, "$20 for one shot and we do just your headshot".
I finally peeled myself away from him and told him that i didnt have any money on me and my friend was in a car downstairs waiting so I had to go.
This place is a total scam and that guy Brad is a slimy pig.
