A new Hallmark Channel Christmas movie is filming in the Charleston area and the local casting company is currently looking for paid extras.
Filming of the new movie, USS Christmas, will start the last week of September.
In an email, TW Cast & Recruit said they are looking for men and women ages 20+, who are current or former Naval Personnel to be paid extras for multiple days of filming starting on Monday 9/28 and ending on Thursday 10/1.
Created and written by Dateline NBC correspondent Andrea Canning, “USS Christmas” is a Christmas love story following the lives of a Navy fighter pilot and a news reporter who have both put their careers before their lackluster love lives. Will the two lead characters be able to put their careers on hold to find a special bond of love and happiness that can only be found during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season?
Everyone loves a Hallmark Christmas movie.
