A NEW COMEDY FILM NEEDS YOU
The hunt is on for enthusiastic extras to play soldiers in a new comedy war film being shot in Thanet.
The film, called “The Singing Cowboy”, tells the story of a man who joins the army, with the hope of boosting his singing career but finds himself in big trouble when he ends up a war zone.
One of the key scenes in the film will be shot in Margate and producer Norman Thomas is looking for likely people to be soldiers in the scene.
“Mainly we’re looking for young men, anyone aged between 16 and 40,” Mr Thomas said, “But there will be some spots for women, too”
Mr Thomas said that people taking part needn’t worry about being under fire.
“They’ll be playing soldiers in a war,” he said, “but weirdly enough they’ll spend most of their time listening to people singing songs!”
And anyone who gets in touch with the film-maker may get the opportunity to be in other films in the future.
Mr Thomas said: “We’re already planning a series of new productions in particular one revolving around conflict in an office, and we’ll be keeping an eye open for anyone who might be able to take a role in them, too.”

More films being made in Margate? Good good.
