Shawnee Filmmaker Brett Bower Seeking High School Extras for Test Scene Filming of Upcoming Feature UNRAVELLED


The production team is actively recruiting local high school students to volunteer as background extras playing students in the hallway scene.


Opportunity Details & How to Apply

Who Can Participate: High school students (grades 9–12).


Date & Location: Saturday, November 14th — Indoors at Choctaw High School. Approximately 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM (exact call times will be confirmed via email).


How to Reserve a Spot: Parents or legal guardians of interested high school students must send an email to cwcprod77@gmail.com


Subject Line: NOVEMBER 14th


Email Body: Name(s) of the participating student(s). Multiple high-school-aged siblings may be listed in a single email.


Note: Slots are limited. Parents/guardians are encouraged to reserve spots early to ensure an accurate headcount. Additional details regarding wardrobe, arrival times, parking, and on-set instructions will be emailed to registered participants as the date approaches.


Based on a true story, UNRAVELLED follows a high school student whose world is turned upside down when he survives a near-death experience—inspired by the real-life car crash Bower survived while driving to his very first on-camera acting job.


As the student struggles with short-term memory loss while opening night of his school play rapidly approaches, his teacher coaches him past his fears, while his friends help him piece together the mysterious events of the wreck he walked away from with hardly a scratch.
