Extra on a Movie
Loading 
Wow, I was an extra on the movie ‘Ticket Out’ that filmed here Friday and Saturday, Jan. 16 & 17 here in Newton at the Court House. It was very interesting and a big learning experience. It all started in Nov. when I took my daughter to the try outs. They talked me into trying out too, because with minors they need a parent on set and since I had to be there anyway they told me I might as well do it too. To say the least I was one of the choosen. So Sat. the 17th @ 9:00am, I reported to the Methodist Church where we all gathered to get our directions, clothing picks,& a wonderful catered breakfast. We then walked to the court house where we went into the basement to a large room, that was our holding room untill scenes were ready. We waited and waited. I got chosen do the outside back ground scene. I had to walk back and forth in front of Papa’s antique and Brown’s Shoes for about 1 hour, then a 5 min break and back out again for 10 mins. It was cold but fun. Then back to the basement room for a few hours untill the next scene inside the court house. We did a scene inside the court house and again I was the back ground. I am a dot in the a sea of extras and actors, but very cool to see all the lights, the crew, and the action. Oh then it was lunch. It was as delisous as the breakfast. I’ll tell you, the actors, crew, and us eat fast and get back on the set. So a few more hours of waiting around and then they tell us “That’s a wrap”. This was about 11:00pm, so you see it was a long day. It may of been a long day, but I was excited, it was a once in a life time to do something you have always wanted to do. So when the movie comes out (don’t know when that is) let’s watch the movie and enjoy the scenes of Newton, Newton residents, and Iowa.Submitted by Susan K. Forbes
