The Deadbeat Club

If the movie seems as if they just chose kids right off the street it is because they did. Most of the kids in the movie were out of my Jr. High and High School. Much of the film was shot in my hometown, Olney, and the nearby town, Megargel. Around the end of the school year we were informed in an assembly that there was going to be a movie made in Olney and we were all invited to be extras. Many people of our little school (about 300-400 high school students in all of Olney High) went to the filming and were extras. In the beginning of the film I can be seen being picked for one of the teams. I am "Jennifer" and am in a red shirt. We all had fun and no not many of the people had the acting experience that the lead actors did therefore they may have seemed a bit scripted and out of sync.
