1968 Eastside Walkouts Want to be a star? Well, how about an "extra"?
Filming is scheduled to begin this weekend at LHS on an HBO film produced by Moctezuma Esparza, and directed by Edward James Olmos. July 16 and 17 will recreate some of the scenes from the walkouts that many of you might remember and participated in (yes, some of that generation still very much around).

BELOW IS COPY OF E-MAIL received from another friend about more filming on this production. You can be a part of this- crowd scenes- so all ages wanted.

"From: WALKOUT EXTRAS [mailto:walkoutextras@yahoo.com]
Attached is a registration form [Call or e-mail to them for copy of form] for being a volunteer extra. Fill it out and fax or email it back to us
ASAP.

We need MANY people in order to reenact the protest
scenes, so pass along the word to all your friends.
There is a shooting date set for July 31st that will
take place in front of City Hall in Downtown LA. This
is one of the dates where we will need people of all
ages. Please let your friends and family know, as
this will be a very important date to show up, we need
1500 people this particular day. It helps to fill ot
the registration form ahead time so we know how many
people to prepare for, in terms of meals.

Thank you for your interest in the film, WALKOUT.
