Homeless Extras

Background

For advertising productions, agencies often need background actors, also known as extras, to complete the picture or a scene. The extras don't need great acting skills since they are but a detail in the background. So the compensation paid to these extras could just as well go to people who really need it: the homeless. This insight sparked the idea to establish the first homeless extras agency in collaboration with De Volksbond, an Amsterdam-based organization that supports the homeless.
