"Thanks to All the Extras Who Participated In The Film": What We Would've Liked To Have Seen

A welcome credit amidst those given at the end of the film, 'In Darkness', in this year's extra good Film Festival. And a welcome change from the - rather conspicuous - absence of such a "thank you" in, seemingly many - but I may well be mistaken - of the NZ fantasy 'flicks' I've been especially enamoured of in recent years; largely since completing a 'Lord of the Rings' summer school paper at Otago varsity in early 2005. But most notably lacking from the credits in an Academy Award-acclaimed film I had a - very minor, almost inconspicuous even - part in in late 2004: i.e. 'Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe', produced/directed by Andrew Adamson, Producer/Director of the subsequent Narnia films ('Prince Caspian', 'The Voyage of the Dawn Raider', and any more to come), and all the Shrek films (1/2/3).
