RamRide looking for VCU student extras for video shoot Friday

by | Jul 26, 2017 | FILM & TV

Ever fantasize about being a passing face or an awkward bystander in a college orientation video? Still have no plans this Friday afternoon? (Staying in bed with Netflix and napping don’t really count.)

By some strange dysfunction-related miracle, you’re in luck, because VCU Parking & Transportation is looking for current VCU students and faculty to serve as extras for a short RamRide video being filmed this Friday, July 28. RamRide is the shuttle service taking students, faculty and staff to, from and around VCU campuses.

It’ll only take a couple hours, free lunch will be provided, and you’ll forever be remembered in the annals of VCU history. What’s not to love?

If interested or for further inquiries, please email callowayjn@vcu.edu. Here’s hoping you make the cut for your big break!
