I was put forward for a job on a motion picture for my first role. It was so exciting.
All in all if you have the look and fit the criteria there is a chance you could be working in the most amazing industry.
My first ever on set experience was wonderful with the production company.
Despite paying to be a priority artist, haven't had any work from these people for over 18 months.
Imagine how much money they are making from people who believe their texts.
Just as your annual fee needs renewing a job.... then pending then we'll tell you by this date then...
The day went well enough, but for several weeks I got no information on earnings or payment date.
Not very impressed, these are nowhere near as good or reliable as other agencies I work with.
There are many other companies in this industry that are indeed reliable, collaborative, and worthwhile. Not these guys!
Ok I had a permanent job so it was difficult to allocate time for extras roles, but when I did answer positively all of the criteria- instantly they sent me an email saying I didn’t meet the criteria for the role.
It’s a joke, when I called to cancel my account (as none of the message requests were done and I was still being text repeatedly over the same job I had declined repeatedly), they simply said ‘yes ok’ nobody asked why I wanted to leave or try and keep me on the books.
The company work late into the night to ensure supporting artists are booked and given all the info they need.
Zero customer service points.
Submitted requested photos on numerous occasions, which were rejected.
The Team at UVE work hard to make things happen!.
Various food options considered and friendly and helpful crew.
Many thanks for your hard work!
I’ve had lots of pencilled in dates for a number of productions but have not received any work from them, thankfully I’ve had lots of work with other agencies 🙏.
Not a good business in my opinion.
My experience wasn’t good- I really fancied doing a bit of extras work.
Add to that payment was made 30 days after each filming day.
Spent 15 days working with an Oscar winning actor in locations including a Cathedral, 3 castles and a medieval court on the Thames all whilst wearing 15c costumes.
Holly Oaks as a Japanese Tourist on the London Decker bus with Actresses Mikyla & Tracey.
They even helped accommodate one SA, who would have had a 7 hour journey home.
I have since recommended the company to others.
Spent a day in mid December on an ad project called Solitaire Cash.
I missed my train, it had arrived and left 10 minutes before it was due, but what they did to get me there, was above and beyond and I couldn’t thank them enough.
I won’t have any more time or resources wasted due to their poor planning.
Just had to come out of scheduled work for a fitting that was organised by universal extras and after sorting out work dates and times to fit in with the film shoot with Elveden I had a message saying that I didn’t get the role.
I am not going to lay out my whole experience here but I will rate it.
Landed my first job through universal extras on the film Animol directed by Ashley Walter’s playing the part of a female prison officer I was on set for 4 days.
They keep rejecting photos that other agencies are happy to accept, when I apply for jobs, I don't get a response.
There has been no communication to explain, and when I log in to my UVE account, there is NO earnings information provided for this, or any of my previous jobs.
It’s been 8 months since you replied on Trustpilot to my complaint, promised me 10 jobs in the year, still nothing and I stick to my word, scammers and give false hope, steer clear… plenty of other good agents out there.
Very good in response and feedback/ pay. Thank you.
They send you a message to say if you will be available for the shoot and then hours later they will tell you that you have not been chosen?? Happens many times!
A week or so ago a payment landed in my account, but was only half the amount quoted me.
Total lack of flexibility and human touch.
I applied for jobs via the app and was also sent jobs via text ‘We’ve matched you to a role’. Really?
The explanation given was very vague and wasn't constructive or helpful.
