Strictly Background (2007)

For decades, film and television audiences have watched their favorite stars with little thought or concern for the people standing behind them. "Strictly Background" is about to change that as it explores the charm and determination of some of Hollywood's hardest-working actors: professional "extras." Turning industry convention on its head, this humorous and heartfelt documentary follows 10 background actors as they navigate their way on and off the set. Both a behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood and a character-driven film, "Strictly Background" is a dynamic exploration into the pursuit of stardom and the real-life struggle to stand out.
