MARQUEE madness struck
on the North Shore Aug. 10
with more than one hundred
Hollywood North hopefuls
answering the sweet siren
call of the big screen big
time at West Vancouver’s
Extra Personalities talent
agency’s most recent extras
seminar.

Managed bs SFU business ad-
ministration graduate Liana Lim,
the two-month-old venture isn't
just looking for people with stars
in their eyes. Warm bodies within
camera-cye view get paid —
whether they make the picture
credits or not.

Lim's company acts as a talent
broker, connecting extras with
local casting directors on the prowl
for fresh faces.

A $20 fee includes a three-hour
training blitz with TV and film
director Michael Berry, 2 one-year
resume fisting in the company’s
Extra book, a color picture, and
audition arrangements.

Andrew Van Slee, company
director, says the average extra
usually pockets $75 for a day spent
on the set. For more information

WE ALL play games for fun and
profit at one level or another, but
West Van’s John Pozer, game-
making whiz-kid, has taken the
task quite literally to heart with his
latest gamesome gambit, The
Money Hunt.

Pozer, who made himself a mil-
lionaire co-inventing Junior Trivia
along with his two sons, is offering
a cool $1 million, $50,000 in U.S.
funds a year for 20 years, to crack
the mystery location at the heart of
his new game.

It costs approximately $20 to
buy into the greenback paper
chase. Players receive a map and
three guesses for their money.

The accounting firm of Touche
Ross has the prize money and also
the answer Iccked in a sealed
envelope. Available at major retail
stores throughout Canada and the
U.S., The Money Hunt is touted as
the richest prize game ever.

Pozer says his company, T.G.I.
Games Inc. has pre-sold 50,000
copies. With a share investment
deal through Vancouver Stock Ex-
change-listed Rush Ventures,
Pozer has managed to both finance
a slice of the venture and offer
game players of a different stripe a
chance to make some money.

“The stocks are at 38 cents now,

but if we sold 100 to 200.000
games, the stock would go over
one dollar,** said Pozer.

Pozer's hot tip: The poem por-
tion of the game gives away more
than the inventors had counted on!
