Book Description
Everyday, hundreds of film industry extras get up early to go to work at a place they’ve never been to, usually not having the slightest clue what will happen, nor what will be required of them. They usually don’t get to read a script nor have the luxury of choosing who to work with or having an opinion. Welcome to the world of the Extra, aka walking prop.
This is the story of one such extra that was lucky enough, however, to be in the production of his dreams, the set of a Hollywood war movie for HBO's The Pacific.
About the Author
Jeff Ooi was a bored IT Analyst at a large Road Company when he was given an opportunity to be an extra in a 200 million dollar mini-series. There, he took snapshots and kept a journal of his very unique experience. Later when the series finished, he was determined to document the experience properly for his children. The journal has gone from a diary to a picture book, to a blog and now a novel.
Jeff describes his first book as not Shakespeare or Steinbeck or even Spike Milligan. The events are presented as-is, unembellished but hopefully entertaining. A must read for any budding actor, extra or even simply a film buff.
