Details below. The film is directed by former Onion editor Rob Siegel (he also wrote the screenplay for the upcoming Darren Aronofsky film The Wrestler). Extras are needed to play Philadelphia Eagles fans, so if you have Eagles gear, so much the better. The scene will include Patton Oswalt and Michael Rappaport.
It is not a paying gig (the film is being independently financed on a shoestring), but it includes beer and food, and Staten Island.
---------------------------------
We need to fill up a sports bar in Staten Island this Wednesday and Thursday with rowdy football fans for a big scene.
Can you make it to the set to perform as an extra, for one or both days? We need people there from 9:30 am until 7 pm. We need the most people on Wednesday, but if you can make it both days, that's great. Please bring your friends too. Everyone is welcome!
I know that it's difficult to get away during the week, but I am just casting the net wide here. Please forward this email to any unemployed friends you have.
Thank you! I hope to see you at Sharkey's Bar this Wednesday!

You take the Staten Island Ferry from the southern tip of Manhattan. The 1, 4, 5, R, and W trains are there, at the South Ferry/Whitehall St./Bowling Green stations. The ferry leaves every half-hour, and takes about 25 minutes to arrive in Staten. From there, you take the 51 bus, which goes down Bay Street. Sharkey's Bar is on Bay St. between Hylan Boulevard and Maryland Avenue. It's a 10 or 15-minute bus ride to the bar from the ferry station.
