Inside The Extras Dept.

We are always saying here at The Extras Dept. HQ – the best thing you can do to increase your chances of being selected as an Extra is to take a great photo.

Every few months we hold photo shoots. This is a great chance to get the perfect photo and have a chat with someone from our team. However, in the mean time you can achieve a great photo at home. All you need is a camera and a buddy!

This year Extras NI celebrates 10 years working in the industry here in Northern Ireland and to commemorate this occasion we want to do something with you, our extras. On 7th March 2017 we will be holding a Blood Drive in Crumlin Road Gaol for the members of Extras NI, in conjunction with Northern Ireland Blood Transfusion Service. 

2016 got a lot of flak for being a terrible year – some have even dubbed it the worst year in the history of the universe. Sure, some bad things happened but we here at The Extras Dept HQ always look on the bright side of life. Our stats for the infamous 2016 are in and we couldn’t be prouder. We had a great year!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. The Extras NI office is now closed for the Christmas holidays! We will reopen on Wednesday 4th January 2017.

AND WE’RE LIVE! Slots for our coming photo shoot on Saturday 12th November are now open for booking. Approx 70% of those who attended our last photoshoot in August have been contacted with an offer of work on 1 or more of our productions.
