Watch I Was There Too

I Was There Too is a docudrama film released in 2016 that follows the story of a group of actors who were not lead cast members in famous movies but had played small parts or extras. This film was directed by and starred DeMorge Brown, Beth Lisick, and Eric Dadourian. The movie turns the spotlight on the actors who had small parts in some of the most well-known films of our time. It tells their stories and how they contributed to the success of the film productions. This is a rare insight into the lives of the unsung heroes of the film industry. These actors have small parts but are still an integral part of the movies we watch and enjoy.

The film takes the audience behind-the-scenes and into the minds of the actors to reveal their honest, often hilarious, and sometimes bittersweet stories. The actors share their experiences of working with famous directors and being part of iconic movies that stand the test of time.

Throughout the film, the actors reflect on their early struggles and their determination to pursue their passion, even when the odds were against them. They also discuss their efforts to gain recognition and balance their artistic aspirations with the realities of their daily life.

We see how these aspiring actors navigated the challenges of the film industry and how their small roles went on to have a significant impact on their lives. We also get a glimpse into their lives as they share their joys and sorrows.

One of the most interesting stories in the film is Lisick's experience with Stanley Kubrick on the set of Eyes Wide Shut. She was called in to play a small part in the film, but the high-pressure atmosphere and Kubrick's demanding nature made the experience quite challenging. We get to see how she coped in a highly charged set like this and how it affected her life afterward.

Another actor, Eric Dadourian, reminisces about his experience on The Social Network. Though he had a tiny part in the final cut of the film, his time during the audition and filming was amusing to say the least.

The film is also filled with plenty of self-deprecating humor, leading to some hilarious moments. In one segment, the actors share their "blink and you'll miss it" scenes from various movies. It's quite entertaining to see the blink-and-you-miss-it moments from movies like The Dark Knight Rises and The Hangover.

Overall, I Was There Too is a charming and heartwarming film that sheds light on the supportive and loving community of film extras and small actors on even some of the biggest film sets. It's a tribute to the unsung heroes of the film industry who keep the wheels turning, and it's a touching reminder that every part of a production is part of a greater whole.
