American Eagle Casting is seeking period vehicles for its new independent feature film “Bottle Shock” shooting in August in Sonoma, Glen Ellen and Calistoga.
“Bottle Shock,” the movie, chronicles the events leading up to the famous Paris Tasting of 1976, at which California wines bested the exalted French wines in a blind tasting. This stunning upset victory put California wines on the map for good.
Producers are currently seeking extras to act as American townspeople/farmers; French wine-tasting judges and spectators; college students; vineyard workers; vintners; lawyers and secretaries; airline passengers; high school students of African descent (must be 18 but look younger). Haircuts and facial hair in the 1970s’ style greatly appreciated.
As well, producers are looking for cars made before 1975 and, ideally, feature original detailing.
If you want to be an extra, please e-mail your photo and complete contact information to www.bshock@americaneaglestudios.com
Sonoma Valley residents are also encouraged to submit a picture of any period vehicles along with the year/make of car/truck. Participating extras with period vehicles will be compensated for time on the set with the car.
