About 150 students are needed as extras on the film, “Betty Anne Waters.” The shooting will take place this Monday and Tuesday on the University of Michigan campus.

Students can apply online by sending name, phone number, birth year and a photo to BAWstudents@realstyleonline.com. Please type “Ann Arbor” in the subject line. Exact filming times and the location of the shoot will be released closer to Monday.

Extras do not have to be U-M students, but must be college-age, 18-23 years old. Roles as extras are voluntary and not paid.

The film, produced by Tony Goldwyn, stars Hilary Swank, Minnie Driver and Sam Rockwell. It is based on the true story of Betty Anne Waters, who struggled from her against-the-odds upbringing to complete her undergraduate and law degrees in order to clear her brother from a murder conviction – a crime she was certain he did not commit.
