We’ve had a good time following the progress of director Stephen Gyllenhaal’s latest project Grassroots, the first Hollywood feature about Seattle to actually be shot in Seattle in eons. (Read up on the story here.)
We partied with stars Jason Biggs and Joel David Moore up on Capitol Hill (see a slideshow of the night out); chatted politics with Cedric the Entertainer; stopped by Re-bar to watch them tape the film’s climactic final scene; and we were nearly victims of a JDM prank (he likes to set traps).
But we think it’s time you got in on the fun, too. Enter now to win a visit for two to the set, scheduled for the afternoon of August 4, where you’ll meet the cast and crew of Grassroots and watch them film a scene before they wrap production.
And now, da rules:
1. Become a fan of Grassroots the Film on Facebook.
2. Email us at grassrootscontest@gmail.com and tell us why you want to go on set in 10 words or less. Haikus are particularly welcome. Don’t forget to put “Grassroots contest” in the subject head.
3. Deadline to enter is Friday, July 30 at 3pm PT. We’ll notify the winner by the end of the work day and provide details at that time.
Good luck everyone.

Awesome!
I had a chance to be an extra. It’s great to see these guys in action. excited to see the movie.
Lots of Seattle folk crewing for this, but then there are lots of Seattle people crewing for the dozens of Seattle-originated productions made here every year. We have some amazing writers, directors, and actors – and yet once again, local news outlets don’t seem to write about movies being filmed here unless the writers/directors/actors came here from someplace else – usually California.
Maybe John Jeffcoat’s “Outsourced”, being considered by NBC, will bring local media out of this self-loathing, grass-is-always-greener mentality, but then again Robinson Devor’s haunting “Police Beat” should have, but didn’t.
