As soon as we receive that initial ‘yes’ response from you, we put you on our list of available extras that fit the brief, and send it to production for them to see who they want to book.
So if you say you are available, and we send you to production, they see you, love you and request you and we contact you to confirm you were selected then you turn round and say no you aren't available… The whole process is broken down. Disappointment all round and we have to start the process again.
When this happens it affects everyone involved…...
If your agency can not take your word at face value then they are less likely to book you again. So be honest and make 100% sure before saying yes.
Remember every person on a production is needed.
This isn’t a confirmation but rather an availability check to ensure that if chosen, you are available and interested.
