"PALM SPRINGS 2011 INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL" trailer
I was an extra in the movie theater shot with the young kid! Sadly, not even a body part shown! This one had three major extra scenes (two in movie theaters, one outside) and very few of the dozens of extras used for the set are seen, which is how it works often in the extra business. But it's a great locally shot promo for, of all things, the Palm Springs Film Festival!

BATMAN VILLAIN PENGUIN - Oil Tycoon Taken Into Custody

By Anna J. McCollum
January 3rd 2111
     Onlookers watched in surprise as respected oil tycoon and philanthopist R.J. Milton (also known as "The Penguin") was taken into police custody yesterday for tax evasion and money landering.
     Milton issued no statement to the press or the crowd as he was escorted to a police car.
     Evidence was found to suggest that Milton’s accountant, Raymond Grest may also be involved in the illegal transactions. Grest was not available for comment.
