The star of the show always catches our eye, but others in sight, almost unnoticeable, hold the most truth. Picture Tom Cruise sitting in a cafe eating a croissant. Who makes that idea of a scene so vivid? Is it Tom Cruise, the people in the background, or the croissant? I say the croissant, but Jill Goldston's experience begs to differ. Goldston, a prolific extra, has a long-lasting 60-year career that has shaped her view on the film industry. From being unable to make direct eye contact with Tom Cruise, dinners with David Bowie, and love scenes with ex-Bond Timothy Dalton, answers whether or not film extras play a big role. Goldston's husband Geoff kept count of every single job Goldston was involved in. An immense record of 1,951 appearances caught the attention of Anthony Ing. Anthony Ing is a British Chinese-Canadian filmmaker, composer, and co-founder of the production company Loop. Fascinated by those behind the spotlight, Ing’s search through Goldston's vast film history has allowed him to get a sense of her work’s impact. He feels as if he is in her shoes when sifting through her past in images. Ing made an English short documentary titled ‘Jill Uncredited’ that was nominated at the Berlinale competition.
