How to get the good food and PRODUCTION Craft Services -- Insider tips for background actors.
1. If you walk backwards into Production Craft Services, or "crafty," nobody will ever notice -- because they will think that you are really leaving. 2. Alternatively, wait till the director calls "action" and then make a beeline to the food items that you can quickly stuff into your pockets, travel bag, and hat. 3. The Beginners Method is to stand forlornly near the entrance and ask a friendly person if you think it is OK if you get one small cup of coffee. If they say "yes," you are good for coffee, but be quick. If they say, "No;" you had better leave quickly and walk toward the bathrooms on your way. To look sad, it helps to remember that you are earning less than minimum wage with no job security at all. The rest of your life is a shambles and you are lucky to even have one day of work this week to pay for half the overdue gas bill. Concentrate on past injuries and the present pain you feel. Focus intently on your student loans, high school memories, and past political candidate's broken promises. 4. Eventually you will want to achieve the talent of a "true actor" who can go virtually anywhere they want, whenever they want, without a second thought and even security agents wave them through check points... It can be done.
