casting extras....??

Filming starts 9/15 which is a Monday as renfestbeth said. Second unit filming may not have any "stars" involved. My booth has to fill out a list of who will be working by 9/7. Probably as a image release form although the form didn't indicate that.

Before answering your response, I went to the horse's mouth to get all the correct information...so I would not speak out of turn.

Management told me that hard passes were not taken away - unless there were "problem children" employees. If your "hard pass" was taken from you there would have been a reason from the fstival end, and not due to the production. Furthermore, MRF does NOT expect to be taking away the hard passes already issued to employees - what would be the point? Issuing a day pass would create more work and multiple headaches with people losing them all of the time.

Also, the bus issue will happen the last three weekends of the festival. Will it be inconvenient? Yes. It is a necessity, sadly, due to the requirements of filming a large production. As for getting to your parking area at Mt Holly by seven...that will do you no good. The bus contract has the shuttle buses arriving at 8. Maybe a bit earlier...but not as early as 7am.

For the folks who work all week thru (M-F)...yes, you will be able to do your jobs. The production company is working with certain vendors they have identified who's shops they would like to use, in order to make everything run smoothly for both sides. MRF management is working closely with the production crew to assure all bases are covered.

I would suggest you stop raising red flags. Rumor mills are a waste of time and effort.
