Ready to Meet ‘Captain America’? Cleveland Extras Casting Call Announced for Marvel Film

How about this for my 'Captain America' audition?

So what do you think? Should I use this photo as my headshot when I apply to be an extra in Marvel’s Captain America: Winter Soldier, filming this spring in and around Cleveland, Ohio?

Maybe. Maybe not. But maybe.

You can apply to be an extra, too. Marvel recently announced the casting call, which will take place April 19 and 20, 2013, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Tri-C’s Metro Campus, Building UTC, Room 229. You can find that at 2415 Woodland Ave., Cleveland.

Here’s what you need to know if you go. You have to be 18 years old or older.

Minors should not come to the casting call, but if your son or daughter wants to try out – and they’re 9 years old or older – you can bring a current, casual snapshot to include.

Dress in business attire. And come well-groomed. (Sounds like another fancy party, maybe? Like the one Marvel shot for The Avengers downtown?)

Bring a pen to fill out the application. Don’t show up early.

And that’s it! Follow those rules and you’re this much closer to landing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

'Frankenstein,' family history and the art of listening: Meet Brittany Dobish

Brittany Dobish >> Whether she is documenting a nonprofit’s mission, preserving a piece of local history or helping someone tell a deeply personal story, Brittany Dobish believes the most meaningful moments happen when people feel safe enough to be heard. And safe enough to be honest. “I don’t interview people to find out who they are,” Dobish explains. “I interview them to remind them of who they are.” That philosophy shapes both her filmmaking and Dobish Legacy Films , the company she launched in 2024 to help people and organizations preserve the stories that might otherwise disappear. For Dobish, documentary filmmaking is not simply about recording what happened. It is about listening closely enough to discover what those experiences meant. Dobish with Mark Hamer, Crash Cat Media Finding meaning in the misunderstood Dobish’s interest in people, identity and personal history began long before she picked up a camera. As a teenager, she spent years observing the people around he...

Everything we know about ‘Eenie Meanie’ on set in Cleveand, Toledo and Sandusky

Samara Weaving as Edie in 'Eenie Meanie' Before James Gunn and the cast and crew of Superman took over Cleveland, another star-studded feature film was laying claim to the sights and sounds and gritty streets of Northeast Ohio: Shawn Simmons Eenie Meanie , debuting today on Hulu. While both films tell the tale of a misunderstood hero just trying to live an honest life, each production brought an entirely different vibe to Cleveland’s neighborhoods. And I say this from personal experience. As a cinephile working downtown during Superman ’s shoot, getting a peek behind the scenes was an exercise in watching from a distance, peering through second-story grocery store windows, or finding hidden spots in parking decks looking over Progressive Field. Eenie Meanie ? Well, all you had to do was ask, and the crew would point you to a good spot on set to watch the action. The set was so open and friendly on the one day I went exploring in Ohio City, I was too self-conscious to take pictu...
