SYNOPSIS: Kyle Krabb is an enthusiastic goofball from the midwest with dreams of hitting it big in Hollywood. A newcomer to Georgia’s entertainment industry, he lands a gig as an extra on the TV Series Totally Sarah. There he meets the disenfranchised Roland Krane, a long-time extra who has been stuck in the cycle of bad food and low pay (typical of extra work) for years. Falling in with Roland’s dissimilar group of mis t extras - or “the gang” - Kyle learns the ropes of surviving life in the background. Roland reveals there is an entire subculture and caste-system to background acting, while Kyle discovers the vanity and power struggles that take place on set. Determined to remain optimistic, Kyle becomes the ying to Roland’s yang as the gang deals with daily turmoils of set life. The gang encounters delusional wannabe actors and power- hungry crew members, as we become acquainted with all types of extras, from the creepers and sleepers to the psychos and newbies. ABOUT THE SHOW The series pulls inspiration from programs such as Community (NBC), LOVE (Net ix), It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (FX) and The Wonder Years (ABC). Stylistically 64/8 is surreal and over-the-top, while still creating the appropriate dramatic and grounding moments to feel connected to and moved by its characters. In this way the show is inspired by TV series' such as Scrubs (NBC/ABC) and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (Universal Studios).
