Would You Like To Be An Extra In A Movie Being Filmed In Waxhaw North Carolina?
North and South Carolina have always been a popular choice for filmmakers. But, it seems like lately it’s happening even more. I just shared news earlier this week about a film being made at Apache Campground in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. And, today I learned just down the road from me a movie filming in Waxhaw, North Carolina needs you. A casting call has been issued for extras in a comedy called ” Operation Taco Gary’s.”
According to auditionsfree.com, it is the directorial debut of writer/director Michael Kvamme. And, the plot centers around 2 brothers on a cross country trip involved in a “global conspiracy.” The film stars Simon Rex and he also serves as executive producer.
So, if you live in the Charlotte area, you might want to take a look at what types of extras needed for the film. And, there’s also certain types of vehicles filmmakers are on the lookout for that you might just have! Furthermore, if you happen to know the area you might recognize a landmark being used in “Operation Taco Gary’s.”
WSOC TV reports film crews transformed the Burger King on Providence Rd. in Waxhaw into a working set. That’s right. The pictures show the Burger King sign replaced with one reading “Taco Gary’s.” Some of the extras needed include customers at the “restaurant.” And, the call put out indicates the movie filming in Waxhaw takes place through the end of June.
We love Waxhaw, and we visit the historic downtown often for dinner and shopping. We love to watch the trains come through. And, many photographs are taken in the Waxhaw area. It’s understandable why Hollywood comes calling. So, get your acting chops ready and make us proud!
Taco 🌮 Gary’s.
