Ready For Your Hollywood Moment?

Lights! Cameras! Waiting!

s any actor will tell you, filmmaking is 99% waiting and, on a good day, with the right weather, script, director and light, 1% pure magic…

And when that magic happens, it’s there forever, agus ever.

Whether it’s walking past Father Dougal as he draws pictures in the Bible or shooting at Jamie Dornan as he gets the hell of Greystones, for the rest of your life, you can play people that clip. Again and again. And bore the absolute bejiggers out of them.

Which only adds to the magic.

Yep, the actor’s life is the life for many a dreamer, the holy grail of just getting your face up there on screen for all to see, and you can make that dream come true by getting in touch with Greystones’ newly-minted Storm Extras. Who do pretty much what it says on the film tin.

Over to Elaine and the gang…

Storm Recruitment have branched out into the movie extra business with the launch of Storm Extras.

And the timing couldn’t be better, with their offices situated close to the new Greystones Media Campus, tipped to be one of Ireland’s biggest film and TV studios, and expected to open in 2024.

“We will provide a full service for production companies, from casting to payroll,” says managing director Elaine Harding.

“We have staff members who have worked for decades in the film business, so we are well aware that the industry doesn’t operate within traditional 9-to-5 working hours – which is why we are prepared to support productions outside of these hours and we will work when they work.

“With the film industry in Ireland expected to expand at a rapid rate, with new studios being developed in Greystones and Meath, we want to help provide extras for the growing number of productions coming into Ireland.”

Recognising that the film industry is a very competitive one, Storm Extras have a policy of taking extra time to get to know all of their extras. “We are only as good as the people on our books,” says manager Fiona Deasy, who has two decades experience in the film industry. “Our reputation will depend on their reputation, and we want to provide the best supporting artists to make things run smoother for the production companies.”

“We are looking for people from all walks of life to register for free to join our exciting new venture,” says Harding.
