Review: My name is [redacted] and myself and a friend, [redacted] responded to a paid casting call posting for extras in the film Staten Island Summer. The advertisement stated that extra gig was paid and did not make any further specification about the terms of being paid. Upon being on the set for several hours we were informed by a Production Assistant [redacted], that there was to be no pay at all and we were considered volunteers unless we were SAG union members then we would be paid. I called [redacted] who herself stated that none of the extras were being paid for that project. The advertisement only stated that hired extras were paid. Not to mention the inconsistent information that we received from other cast members, crew, and [redacted] and her advertising. We were manipulated into free labor which neither of us can afford and we want to be appropriately compensated. [redacted] claimed she knew nothing about the paid ad, but all the contact information for the advertisement was correct which is where I received her phone number. I reported the production to NYC government entertainment branch and [redacted] Going the office manager states there is nothing they can do. We require MONETARY compensation for our work on set as promised by the advertisement. If this is not provided by [redacted] Management, Staten Island Summer production, or the city of New York for green lighting an unscrupulous product, I am prepared to very completely write to ever entertainment publication I can about the moral collapse of New York film industry and the dishonest business practices of [redacted] Management. I am also prepared to launch a [redacted] complaint about the dishonesty. If this lack of payment continues I will then go to the ACLU to report discrimination practices as only a few of [redacted] actors on set, I find it hard to believe we were the only ones misinformed, because a Caucasian extra was receiving payment for doing similar work. This is wrong and someone needs to correct the issue. The advertisement was posted via a ** group called LeadCastingCall: and the same ad appeared on [redacted]: I have the screenshots of the advertisement to provide as proof upon requestDesired Settlement: Myself [redacted], and my friend [redacted], responded to a paid casting call and received no payment whatsoever. We both require appropriate payment for the several hours of work we contributed to from the casting call posted by [redacted] Management.

Response:

Good Morning [redacted],

I called you earlier this morning in regards to complaint #[redacted]. The person claimed that they were not paid for two days of work on the film Staten Island Summer, however they attended the set as part of the non-paid, non-union extras on set. The film Staten Island Summer was a SAG film, where only SAG actors were paid, the rest of the non-union extras were recruited as non-paid which was clearly stated. The film had the cast of Saturday Night Live and was co-produced by [redacted], over 700+ other non-paid extras showed up to just be part of the film and meet the cast, there have been no other complaints from those several hundred other people on set for multiple days.

I have plenty of forms of advertisement that were utilized to get people aware of the extras being welcomed on set and each form of media clearly states that there is no payment. Provided below are the links for the social media pages used to promote the film and also attached are all the flyers used. Each source of advertisement clearly states that there is no payment.

Please feel free to email me back or call my office if you have any questions. Thank you.

Sincerely,

[redacted]
