ORIGINAL BLOG:
On Monday night, starting at 5 and wrapping at around 2AM to 4AM (depending) we will be shooting the most energetic scene in Blue Like Jazz the movie. It’s the Renn Fayre scene from the book Blue Like Jazz. The scene has been adapted as a Come as Your Own God party. We need over a hundred extras for the scene, in costume and ready to party.
So, if you have a great Holloween costume, come on out.
That said, though, this is a Come as Your Own God party so anybody wearing a toga, a Greek god or goddess outfit, a devil outfit, a moses outfit, a superhero outfit, or any other person or diety that could or might be idolized, please come and join us. This is an extremely lively scene, so take your five-hour energy and spend some hours on the set.
Our requirements are that you are between the ages of 18 to 25 and that you come in costumes. There will be plenty of snacks and stuff. Come with friends to make it more fun. Plan your costumes this weekend, get creative. The set has been an absolute blast. This is the craziest, most mayhem-filled scene that will have all the principal cast involved. I’ll be around all night, too. I’m seriously going to try to sneak into this scene!
WHEN: Monday, November 1st (the night after halloween) at 6:30PM (We will go very late into the night.
WHERE: Scarritt Bennett, on the campus at Vanderbilt. 1008 19th Ave, Nashville, TN
Okay, here are some pics to help you get your mind around what we are talking about in terms of costumes. But seriously, get creative. Angels, devils, moses outfits, famous celebrities who people idolize, the stay-puff marshmellow man, whatever.
Of course, any kind of costume will do for background, but the people who dress more along the lines of these photos will get a bit more camera time and will be paid ten times what the others are paid (ten times zero is?) Here are some ideas:
