SO MANY FIMING OPPORTUNITIES (in Chicago, NOT France)!!!!

Why is this year the year that the film and television industry finally realizes that Chicago is an amazing place to film!?!?! This year, there have been so many things filming in Chicago, one of which I am extremely grateful to have had my first experience as an extra (good news is that this film is part of a trilogy and last I heard the sequel was either going to stay in Chicago or go to Toronto, I'm hoping they just keep it in Chicago and not mess with it anymore). "Jupiter Ascending" just wrapped, "Transformers 4" just began Monday, and there are 6, count that, 6 tv shows filming September-January.  And of course, because I leave for France in 32 days, my availability sucks. I was asked to be part of the core group of extras for one of these 6 tv shows-those are the people that are on set for the majority of filming. I was told we would be featured in practically every episode, but because I leave for France a month into filming, I couldn't do it as they were looking for people with more availability. I just submitted for another show that needs people this Thursday and Friday. *Fingers crossed* that they pick me to be a patron at a downtown diner!
