Archive for category: Acting and Extras Work in Sydney

The Tailings is a “6 x 10 minute series follows a daughter’s investigation into her father’s death. It takes place in her tight-knit, remote community in the wilderness of the West Coast of Tasmania.” This series will be delivered through SBS On Demand and, the team hope to follow the success of AACTA-award winning series Robbie Hood.

The main opportunities for this one are for our more experienced actors, but if you have missed the recent announcements, there is plenty of work coming up for background extras too.

For more information about The Tailings see Inside Film.

Our background extras are involved in all sorts of fun and interesting projects. There are film clips, video games, in store activations, audience gigs and much much more. This commercial would have ben a fun one, you first see our MCTV people in the comically large photo frame that runs around the edge of the room and then just their legs as they trundle their way down the stairs. A whole lot of fun and a healthy pay cheque to go with it. About a week’s pay for just one day.

Fans of the beloved series Packed to the Rafters can rejoice because filming of the reboot Back to the Rafters has resumed filming in Sydney. We’ve already had almost 60 MCTV people on set during February and March and production was only in the early stages when COVID hit. That means there’s a good chance of many more opportunities for background roles and bit parts in the coming months. After the recent announcements we now have 4 tv series shooting parallel here in Sydney so we expect a busy end to the year.

A new 10 episode series has started filming in Sydney and has already provided opportunities for dozens of MCTV people. Filming has only just started but these series usually film over several months. Bump is from the team behind Love My Way and The Secret Life of Us.

“The series centres around Oly, an ambitious and high-achieving teenage girl who has a surprise baby; and the complications that ensue for two families.”

“Bump is a sharply funny and fast-paced relationship drama which explores the unplanned and life-changing consequences of the impulsive moments in life. Set and being filmed in inner Sydney, the Stan Original Series stars Claudia Karvan.”

The new COVID-Safe guidelines have been in place since the end of May and the industry is adapting really well. It has even created opportunities for local production companies to do remote shoots for foreign customers. One thing that hasn’t changed is that big brands still have to advertise their products and services and so we have started to see more and more TV and print campaigns coming back. This is a selection of the brands we have worked with over the past month alone.
