“Since the film is set in Natchez, we would like for as many Natchezians to be seen in the film as possible. We want any/all ethnicities and ages to submit info. We will have many opportunities for volunteer extras as well as some opportunities for paid extras. This is your chance to be a part of the first ever Christmas movie to be set in your town!”

To submit themselves or their family for consideration to be part of the film, applicants should email the following information to natchezbackground@gmail.com.

  • Your first and last name
  • Your age or ages of yourself and family members, if applicable
