The feature film “Cowgirls N’ Angels,” is scheduled to film in and around Stillwater
through the rest of this month. Scenes will include stars James Cromwell (The Queen,
The Green Mile, Babe), Bailee Madison (Bridges to Terabithia, Brothers, Just Go With
It, "Wizards of Waverly Place"), Kathleen Rose Perkins ("Episodes", "'Til Death")
and world-famous trick rider Haley Ganzel. Several OSU alumni and students are participating
in various ways. Ty Dickson is on the production staff and Madison Freeman is the
head wrangler for the production. Members of the OSU Rodeo team will be serving as
featured extras and stunt men and women, and a portion of the movie will be filmed
at the OSU Rodeo Arena.
The OSU family and the public will have an opportunity to participate on May 19 and
May 21. Thursday, May 19, the movie company will be filming a staged rodeo in the
evening and they need people to help fill the stands of the Payne County Expo Center
(located at 4518 Expo Circle East in Stillwater, OK). They ask that those who wish
to fill the stands arrive by 5 p.m. and be dressed as if you were attending a regular
rodeo. Extras will also be needed this Saturday, May 21, from 4:00-8:00 pm at the
Pawnee Lakeside Arena, located 2 miles north of the main intersection in Pawnee, next
to the airport and golf course. Anyone and everyone is invited to attend to play spectators.
While pay is not available for the large crowd scenes, the filmmakers have promised
fun days on the set, filled with giveaways and raffles of prizes and merchandise.
"Cowgirls N' Angels" is a heartwarming family movie that tells the story of Ida (Madison),a
feisty and rebellious young girl, who has fantasies of finding her father, a rodeo
rider who left the family some years back. While searching for her dad, she connects
with the Sweethearts of the Rodeo, a team of young female rodeo riders run by former
rodeo star Terence Parker (Cromwell). Recognizing Ida's innate talent for trick riding,
Terence recruits her for their ranks. Accepted wholeheartedly by her new "family,"
Ida finds a new passion that redefines her life -- and she also may find the father
she's been searching for. The Hollywood-based film is produced by Ben Feingold. Timothy
Armstrong is directing the film he co-wrote with Stephen Blinn.
