We encourage everyone interested in paid background work on the History Channel Mini-Series to participate in our EXTRAS Open Call on Saturday, September 28th, in Harpers Ferry, WV, from noon to 4pm. The project spans the two World Wars and so we need background artists to be on battlefields, in political meetings, and in crowd scenes.

All are welcome, and the following are especially encouraged to attend:
Japanese men, women and children.
Caucasian men between 18 to 45 years old who are willing and eager to portray soldiers in the trenches of World War I for long days and nights of wet and muddy conditions. Outdoor skills, military and firearms training, and stage combat experience are all a plus.

Availability for any shooting date must be for any hours of that date (both day and night) to be considered fully available for that day.
