Since 2008 or so, movie-making season has tended to hit Pittsburgh in the spring. Last year was an exception when movie-making season (for pay) didn't start until late August.
But, this year anyway, with the start of production of Fathers and Daughters, movie-making has returned to Pittsburgh with the robins. Fathers and Daughters marks Russell Crowe's return to Pittsburgh. He make The Next Three Days here five years ago. In Fathers and Daughters he plays a novelist who has a difficult relationship with his daughter, played by Amanda Seyfried.
Nancy Mosser is handling extra casting and put out a general call for extras for this week:

MUST HAVE A CAR TO GET TO SET AND LIVE IN OR NEAR THE PITTSBURGH, PA AREA. Calltimes could be early morning or could be overnight. We have no way of knowing yet so please don't submit yourself for a certain day unless your 100% available.

Fathers and Daughters is due to be shooting through the end of April.
If you've never done extra work and if you love the movies, you may really enjoy these opportunities. You have nothing worse to lose than a day, for which you'll be paid. If you find it wasn't for you, you don't have to go back. But, if you enjoy being on set, meeting other filmworkers and watching the being-the-scenes workings of movie-making, it can be loads of fun.
One of the great things about being on set is hearing about other movie-making opportunities. So it turns out the Fathers and Daughters may not be the only flick being shot in Pittsburgh early this year - Antoine Fuqua's next directorial effort, Southpaw, may be shooting in Pittsburgh in June (though this may be on the level of "unconfirmed rumor"). Fuqua is probably best-known for directing Denzel Washington to a Best Actor Oscar in Training Day. Fuqua is a Pittsburgh native, and Southpaw's reported star, Jake Gyllenhaal, shot the wildly entertaining flick Love and Other Drugs here a few years back. So I hope this moves beyond "fascinating rumor" soon!
