Meanwhile, check out Mike Jones’ article on Taking Woodstock and the role the internet now plays in indie film production:
For the concert itself, they needed over 6,000 hippies to fill up the muddy fields of their concert set. As the open casting call made the rounds on various websites, people in the comment section began to step forward, offering cars, tie-dyeds, and themselves. On some sites, excited extras even posted news (and some armchair quarterbacking): “I just got the casting call today, I have a costume fitting tomorrow, and I think they are going to film my scene on wed. the 24th. the producers are playing it by ear, the weather has not been cooperating, and the trees are already changing color. They’ll have to pick up the pace!”
