Read Movie Casting PGH’s background-talent FAQ before applying so you understand what productions expect from extras.

Practical local considerations

Pittsburgh and Philadelphia are separate markets on opposite sides of the state. A Pennsylvania incentive project may film hours away from either city.
Dated news stories about extras recruitment describe past projects. Look for a current notice or application page before assuming a production is still hiring.
The film office’s directories are informational listings; verify each company’s process on its own official site.
