"So Extra!" Overview
"So Extra!" centers on Melissa Stratton's character, a small-town girl who dreams of escaping her mundane life for Hollywood's glitz and glamor. Promotional materials describe her character's journey: "When Melissa lands her first gig as an extra on what she believes is an indie film, she soon realizes the reality is far from her expectations. Somehow, she’s found herself in a seedy adult film with a jaded director and a cast of outlandish characters."
Mike Quasar, the director, stated that this project is his favorite script he has ever written. He expressed satisfaction with the outcome, noting that the cast delivered beyond his expectations. Quasar also mentioned that most of the movies he has been most proud of in his career have been for Wicked Pictures, and "So Extra!" adds to that list.
Melissa Stratton commented that the movie will be a career highlight for her. She cited the near true-to-life character she played and Mike Quasar's humor woven throughout the film. Stratton described the feature as "sexy, funny and real," stating there is nothing else like it.
Co-star Robby Apples also shared his experience, calling it a "real fun opportunity to get to embody Mike’s humor in a longer format." He mentioned having "too many belly laughs making his vision come to life" and expressed gratitude for being part of the project.
