Voluntarily screwed. Exploited nonetheless.<br/><br/>Let's see - no Screen Actors Guild here. Pay less than that of an American Samoan tuna fisherman. But it's "volunteerism" so it's okay. So much for the myth of "liberal" Hollywood - as long as it's their bottom line, LOL. But willingly screwed. Voluntarily screwed. Exploited nonetheless.

There weren't any real stars in the movie, but I still thought it was so cool I couldn't believe I was getting paid instead of the other way around.<br/><br/>Did I mention I was in high school at the time?<br/><br/>And I wouldn't think it'd be legal not to pay extras. It really is a job, too. I worked for three days, arriving around 6 and getting home around 9 or 10 at night. Heh.
