Hey guys. One more day till the long weekend!! We're gonna spend it in the CIA.
We are in summer in the story. Don't really want to see the overly bright saturated colors of summer though. Think the more muted colors associated with spring. Texture and pattern is good, just nothing too busy or bold.
Regardless of what role you have been told that you will play, the reality is I need to have the flexibility to put folks in a variety of looks. We always have to play to the scene. So, for that reason I would like everyone that is working tomorrow to bring choices of all of the following:
business suits, shirts/blouses, ties
sport coats/blazers
casual button front shirts and blouses, long and short sleeve
sweaters, pullover and cardigan, sweater vests
khakis, slacks and skirts and jeans
hoodies and pullover casual shirts
Thank you in advance for bringing all the good stuff. See you on the set!!

PRE FITS FOR PARTY ON TUESDAY, 6TH
Hello everyone. Following you will find the specifics that we would like for the party scene that will be shot on Monday, 12th. We would like you to come by the Costume Dept on Tuesday, 6th, either between the hours of 11:00 and 2:00 or between the hours of 4:00 and 6:30. We are hoping that these lunchtime and after work hours will help accomodate your schedules and make it possible for everyone to be here. If you have not been to the Costume Dept, it is located at:
6935 Reames Rd
Charlotte, NC 28216
704-921-7551 Production Office Phone
We really want to be able to see what you have before the day of since this wardrobe is so specific. Your coming by on the 6th lets us know what colors and styles we are working with and might help us dictate what our principles wear. Please bring choices of the following when you come by the Costume Dept on Tuesday, 6th.
MEN The look here is one of Politicians and Lawyers, Powerbrokers and Lobbyists. Washington DC movers and shakers. The look is conservative and traditional. This party is a meeting of the elite and you should look the part. Men should all bring options fo dark business suits in Black, Navy, Charcoal Grey, etc. Subtle texture and striping will be fine, but nothing that is too obvious with bold pinstripes or other textures. Elegance is what we are after. You should bring white and cream colored solid shirts. Ties are the "make or break" piece of the ensemble. Bring your most sophisticated, most beautiful ties. As a rule the Varsity Stripe Tie is more of a school boy, less formal look. This is because there is usually a lot of blod contrast between the colors in this style of tie. Stripes are good; just keep the contrast in colors to a more subtle level. Other good choices will be patterns sjuch as paisley, medallions, crests, etc. An overly busy tie can look less expensive, so if in doubt, err toward the simpler side. Don't forget your dress shoes and dress belt to complete you look.
WOMEN Society ladies that really run the town. Politician and Lawyer wives. Matrons of the town that they own. Sophistication is the catch word here. This is not a formal affair, so hem lines should hover around the knee. It is really more of a cocktail affair but will take place in the afternoon so a lot of beading and sequins might not be the right call. We are looking for a highly tailored, streamlined look, without a lot of extra detailing. Some is fine, just nothing to overly embellished. Silks, satins, crepe de chin and other fabrics that yo think of for party wear. Sheath dresses that come with a matching jacket. A beautifully tailored shirt with a stunning long sleeve silk blouse. Even the right pair of tuxedo trousers, paired with a silk tank and jacket. These are all just suggestions to give you the right direction and to get you thinking.
NOTE: If you do choose to bring trouser options, please also bring dress and skirt options as well.
We would prefer that you not bring all black. It is a party in the Late Spring/Summer. Pale blues and pinks, soft yellows, greens and creams, taupe, grey. Even some subtle metallic would be nice. Copper, gold and silver fabrics or subtle embellishments. We would also prefer that your choices be mostly solid in color with little to no print. This will help establish the sleek, more sophisticated backdrop against which our principles will play. Bring your nicest and most glamorous jewelry to complete the look. Remember, it is Washington DC and, Republican or Democrat, the look is conservative and traditional, but we want the elegance factor as well. Don't forget your shoes for your choices and a small party/cocktail bag.
We are looking forward to seeing you all sometime on Tuesday, 6th with your fancy duds in hand. Thanks in advance for your cooperation!!

FRIDAY 8/26
Another week, almost over. Thanks everyone for a good, but busy, week.
Tomorrow we are at the church, then some of you will move on the School Function and then the Diner. You should be told if you will be working in multiple scenes. Everyone being asked to work in multiple scenes should bring several options of all the things that I ask so there are enough choices to work in all the different scenes.
I will list all the categories below and what we would like for them. Please read them all so that you understand all the different kinds of things we would like for you to bring. There are a couple of exceptions to this and I will indicate.
PASTOR Should bring a dark suit, shirt choices in light colors and dark, subtle ties. Don't forget your shoes and belt. If you are being asked to work in another scene, please read on for that info.
CHURCH GOERS AND CHILDREN CHURCH GOERS we are shooting late Spring in our show, so please keep that in mind while choosing your "church clothes." The color palette is one of Spring and more subdued than all the bright summer colors. Softer colors are best. Light blue, pale green, soft yellow, lavender, grey, tan, cream, etc. Suits and sport coats and slacks would be best in med to darker tones.
The goal is to see everyone as a whole, not to notice too much the individual. No big hats or other items of bright color or busy patterns that will draw the eye. Please wear in your first, best choice and bring options with you. Please bring a mix of things from very dressy to less dressy.
CHURCH CHILDREN should all be dressed nicely for church. Make sure to include dress choices for the girls and suit, jacket/sport coat or sweater vests for the boys. Whatever you have for the children that makes them feel and look "dressed up." Don't forget the shoes that go with them
FUNDRAISER PARENTS This look is a mix of nice casual and after work business dress. This is less a formal fundraiser and more of a teacher/parent meeting, school open house or PTA meeting. Some parents would have come straight from the office and others from home but are all dressing to put their best foot forward for the teachers. Please bring options of all of the following:
Business suits and sport coats, shirts and ties
Slacks and skirts
dresses
Nice casual button front shirts and blouses to be worn without a jacket
cardigan sweaters and light weight jackets
Pullover shirt/blouses and sweaters
Don't forget the appropriate shoes and belts and accessories for your clothing choices
MEMPHIS DINER PATRONS Should bring choices of casual clothing to include jeans, khakis, cargo pants, long and short sleeve casual shirts/blouses, light weight jackets, cardigan and pullover sweaters, polo type shirts. Please bring the appropriate shoes, belts and other accessories for your clothing choices.
WAITRESSES As I understand, you gals actually work at this Diner! Please bring me several choices of the actual things that you wear to work. Please also bring your work aprons, if you wear them. We are not allowed to film obvious logos, so please bring items that are logo free.
Bring your personality too, and bring some of the jewelry and other accessories that you might wear at work.
FBI ESCORTS should be in the same costume that you have been wearing in the car for the driving sequences and the WV Police Station, shot on Wed and Thurs of this week.
Thanks again for a great week and for helping us make the show look good. We couldn't do it without you!!

THURSDAY 8/25
Hello everyone. So glad you'll all be joining us tomorrow. If you're new, here's how this works....
Keep reading and you'll find instructions for what to bring for the roles that you have been given to play. Please make sure to bring choices of all the things that we ask. The more things that you bring the better we can make you look, the better you look, the more likely you are to be on camera. See how nicely that works! :-)
There are two seperate units shooting tomorrow and you should have been told which unit you are working with. I will give my info in two units as well.
1st Unit
MEXICAN FEDERALES will be given uniforms by costumes. Please bring a pair of black socks.
MEXICAN DAD, MOM, FOOD VENDOR, CAB DRIVERS, PASSERBY, BROTHER AND SISTER
We are playing this as a small, poor town. Everyone should bring choices of casual, everyday clothes that feel like they would be worn in Mexico. We can be colorful in our choices, especially for the children. Lots of pattern and texture. It will be warm and Mexico is a warm place, so that works out. Bring jeans, work pants, skirts, dresses, shirts, blouses, etc. Also, bring anything that you think feels and looks authentic for the way the average person in Mexico would dress today. Don't forget your shoes and belts and all the other great accessories that I know you have.
MEXICAN MECHANICS please bring choices of any work style clothing that you have like Dickies shirts and pants. Also bring choices of jeans, work boots, white and grey tees and A shirts, short sleeve solid color button front shirts. Don't forget you belts.
BUS DRIVERS will be given uniforms by the costume dept. Please bring a black pair of socks.
BUS PASSENGERS & KID PASSENGERS will be a mix of Mexican and American. The bus has come from Texas and people will be getting on in Mexico. Everyone should bring several choices of casual clothing including jeans, khakis, long and short sleeve button front shirts, long and short sleeve pullover shirts and polos, western style shirts, coyboy hats, trucker caps with no logos, long and short sleeve tee shirts with no logos, denim shirts, denim vests and jackets, work boots, casual shoes, cowboy boots, belts, bandannas and other accessories. Really want that Texas/Mexico western feel. Colorful is good and pattern and texture like plaids are great!
The props department would like everyone of the PASSENGERS to bring duffel bags, backpack, hiking bags, over sized purses, tote bags, sleeping bags, pillows. These things should not look nice and new--go pull the thing out of the back of your closet that you thought you would never use again :-)
MOTHER AND BABY please read and follow instructions for the BUS PASSENGERS above.
5 WV BG WITH CARS should bring several choices of a more preppy conservative nature like polo shirts, long and short sleeve button down shirts and blouses, light weight sweaters and jackets, jeans, khakis, skirts. Don't forget your shoes, belts and other accessories.

TUESDAY 8/23 POOL HALL
Hello everyone. Welcome to HOMELAND if you are joining us for the first time. Welcome back if you have worked with us before.
We are shooting a POOL HALL scene tomorrow and we will have some characters. As you continue to read you will see that I try to address each character or group of characters. The main thing to remember is to bring lots of options. If you think it might work, throw it in. Don't decide for yourself what you might wear, that's what we're here for. There are lots of you and we want to make sure that everyone looks fantastic.
We are shooting Spring/Summer in our story so clothing that you would be wearing now will work.
BIKER AND BIKER CHIC I am assuming that if you are bringing your own bike that means you probably also have the biker gear. Please bring several options of
leathers and denim
tees, boots, belts and caps
Be aware that we cannot use things that have obvious logos, which will most likely be Harley Davidson. Logos on a tee can be "hidden" with a vest, for example, that's why the layered look will probably serve us well for you guys. Again, the more we have to work with the better we can make it look.
SKINHEAD FRIENDS OF RUSS will be looking rough and leaning toward the skinhead look, but not entirely so. It's a fine line. Read the list below and bring as much of the following that you have:
dark cargo pants
military style boots, dark sneakers or doc martin boots
jeans, both ripped and non-ripped
dark tees, could be sleeveless
white tees
ribbed A shirts (also known as wife beaters)
denim jackets and vests and shirts
flannel plaid shirts and other plaids
leather belts
Also bring any accessories like chain wallets, bike chain jewelry, etc. Menacing is the best word for you guys.
WAITRESS should bring several choices to include
tight jeans and jean shorts
other shorts and skirts
sexy/slutty tees
halter tops, tube tops, etc
bring shoes that you can walk in but look sexy, but also bring a pair of more sensible shoes like dark sneakers.
bring your big gawdy jewelry
BARTENDER should bring options to include
jeans
dark tees, no obvious logos, please
sleeveless tees
flannel plaid shirts, could be sleeveless
denim shirts
trucker caps, no obvious logos
boots, work boots or otherwise, and dark sneakers
CRUSTY BARFLYS will be a lot of fun. All very much character clothes. Vintage/thrift store look is good. Lots of quirky layers.
old button front shirts and blouses (a vintage flair would be nice)
pullover shirts and sweaters
vests
odd ties and jewelry (bolo tie springs to mind)
jeans and slacks and skirts
Polyester pant suits
light weight jackets and sweaters (think Members Only style)
shoes, belts and jewelry and accessories to complete this look
WORKING CLASS MECHANIC TYPES is a look of the everyday working man. Men that came in for a beer after getting off a shift at the garage or from working on a road crew, or something like that. If you have an old mechanics shirt, by all means bring that, otherwise please bring several options to include the following:
jeans, both ripped and non-ripped
work pants or khakis, like Dickies work pants
tees, both colored, grey and white
short and long sleeve button front shirts, like Dickies work shirt
denim shirts, long and short sleeve
work boots and leather belts
trucker/baseball caps, without obvious logos
FBI AGENTS should bring options to include the following:
Business suit and shirts and ties
sport coats and slacks
pullover shirts and sweaters
long and short sleeve casual shirts
khakis, jeans, slacks and skirts
appropriate shoe choices for your clothing choices
I'm sure you will all bring great things and we look forward to seeing you in the morning and having fun getting you all ready. Thanks in advance for all your help!!
