Beyond the Blockbusters
While big-budget films get all the glory, Miami has also been the star of countless indie movies and TV shows. From the gritty realism of Moonlight to the stylish world of Miami Vice, the city’s versatility knows no bounds.
Fun fact: A lot of music videos are filmed in Miami too. So, the next time you're watching your favorite pop star twerking on a yacht, there’s a good chance they’re somewhere in Biscayne Bay.
How to Become a Miami Movie Extra (Probably)
Okay, so you’re not going to be the next Brad Pitt, but you can still get a taste of the Hollywood life.
- How to find movie filming locations in Miami: Check websites like IMDb or local news outlets for filming schedules.
- How to become a movie extra: Look for casting calls online or in local newspapers. Be prepared to wait (a lot).
- How to survive the Miami heat as a movie extra: Invest in a good sunscreen, a wider brimmed hat, and plenty of water.
- How to get autographs from famous actors: Be polite, respectful, and maybe bring a sharpie.
- How to avoid being mistaken for a tourist: Learn some basic Spanish phrases and pretend you know where to get the best Cuban coffee.
So, the next time you’re soaking up the sun on South Beach, remember, you’re walking in the footsteps of movie stars. And who knows, maybe you’ll even spot a camera crew filming the next big blockbuster. Just don’t get in the shot wearing your Speedo.
