Alex Boyé looking for movie extras
POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI) - If you have ever wanted to be in a movie, here's your chance.
Well-known singer and actor Alex Boyé is going to be in Pocatello on June 14 to film a movie loosely based on his life and his membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
They will be shooting a scene where they need about 500 extras.
He says this is the product of being home and having extra time during the pandemic.
He says it will be be something pretty unique.
"All through COVID I wrote this movie because I had nothing else to do. It's called 'The Greatest Work." It's going to be the first LDS hip hop movie about missionary work. It's kind of a cross between High School Musical and a movie called Step Up. That is a hip hop that all the hip hop guys know about, so there is going to be a lot of dancing singing, a lot of missionary work."
They are especially looking for former missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints that still have their missionary badge, but everyone is welcome. You don't have to be a member of the church, but you do have to dress like a missionary.
The scene they will be filming will be a concert with Alex and his band.
If you would like to be an extra, you need to be at the Amphitheater at the Portneuf Wellness Complex between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. Monday, June 14.
