Amateur filmmaker reveals how you, too, can get a Jude Law cameo in your movie through a few easy steps

As it turns out, acquiring some extra star power for your film is possible even if you, like Levy, “don’t know anyone or have any money.” He describes a very straightforward process that consists of, um, writing, filming, and doing everything involved with making a short movie (including probably quitting your job and running a successful Patreon). Next, you just need to see if you “know anyone who knows anyone who personally knows” a well-known actor. In Levy’s case, this meant asking a close friend’s friend’s wife’s first-cousin, who’s engaged to Law, for a favor.

From this point onward, Levy says you have to swallow your pride in order to ask your friend’s connections for help, finish the rest of the movie to the best of your ability, hope the actor in question likes the thing in the first place, and then carefully manage the nerves and professional expectations involved with getting the cameo in question properly shot.

The only thing excluded from this is the urge we must imagine Law constantly feels since filming wrapped on A.I. to once again be cast as a robot man. A savvy filmmaker, eager to recruit this kind of talent, understands that the best way to get an actor involved with your work is to offer them a part that sort of, kind of calls back to one of their most under-appreciated performances.
