My friend's friend is a graduating film student and has to do a 30 minute short film on anything he wants. He called up my friend yesterday and told her to bring as many girls she knew to come, and I went with because I was with her at the time. We drove to some bar in Detroit after getting lost for like 20 minutes because the bridge to Canada screwed us up because one way streets magically appear when you're going down the wrong way. So we get to the bar and are greeted by some server who told us to go upstairs. Upstairs we walk into another mini bar room that could fill like 20 people. There were cameras and lights and makeup, it was so weird. We had to sign waivers about how we played a part in the film and then got our makeup done. Since I wasn't a direct extra I didn't get makeup or hair, but I was fine with it. We then got free food and everything before the part of the movie they were shooting started. This is what the scene was about: A straight christian man is set up for a date at a bar. At the bar he scolds the bartender for asking him if he was in the right place, where he says that Christians can have fun too and kinda screams at her. In comes a black woman wearing a ripped flannel shirt who sits next to him at the bar. She orders some drink, in which the man tells her it's a gay drink, low and behold she is gay. He then tells her she's going to hell where she flips out and drags him out of the bar. That's all of the movie that I know. We weren't told what it was a called or what the rest of the plot was. All I know is that the name of the scene was code named Fish. I just had to walk around in the background, talk to a few girls at the bar, and then walk around some more. Not that much, but it was still really cool o.o; I want to be an extra in more movies!
