The film is "the true story of Richard Wallrath and his family. The story begins in 1938 when he is eight years old and spans his lifetime as a Texan. He started the Richard Wallrath Education Foundation which is still awarding thousands of dollars to help FFA kids go to college. Looking for men,women, teens, kids, and babies of all ethnicities and ages. We are looking for non-speaking roles to participate in this feature film to be shot in and around Austin.

Years ago, I was an extra in about 3 or 4 movies. My advice to anyone who is chosen: bring flats 'cause you'll be standing around, sometimes for hours. It is fascinating, though.
