Beau Bonneau Casting put a call out two days ago for Bay Area extras. They were looking for "Upscale, Bay Area Local Non Union Men & Women 35-55" to appear as "Venture Capitalists & Wives in party scenes" on HBO's Silicon Valley series. [Worth noting: One annoyed FB commentor noted on Beau Bonneau's post that they probably should've asked for "Venture Capitalists & Spouses" to be more inclusionary.] Payment for non-union extras is minimum wage ($10.74 hour), making it $85.92 for eight hours or less, with overtime at time and a half and double time after 12 hours.
The filming takes place today, Thursday, November 20 at AT&T Park from 4 p.m. until 6 a.m. Friday morning. That sounds like one helluva party, or more likely, one helluva long day for about $100.
