Burlington teachers Raye Lyn Bird and Isi Ofiu ("Mr. O") recently auditioned and participated in the filming of a movie in Alva. The film is called "The Waving Wheat Trilogies" and Lance McDaniel, a former Alva resident, is the director.

The movie was written with northwest Oklahoma in mind. It was filmed at various locations and music was recorded at Northwestern Oklahoma State University. Over 70 children and adults auditioned for a role. Mr. O and Mrs. Bird sang in the musical production and both received small solo parts.

The scene takes place in a backyard, filmed at The Menagerie, with lots of singing and dancing. Overall, Mrs. Bird and Mr. O spent over 20 hours participating in rehearsals, music recording and filming.

The movie is currently in post-production and is set to premiere in Alva's Rialto movie theater.
