Wright Tech Transformed into Movie Set
This summer, Wright Tech was transformed
into a movie set for the upcoming Oprah Winfrey production "For
One More Day". During two days the school was used for some
scenes in the movie which stars Ellen Burstyn and Michael Imperioli
(of The Sopranos). The school was renamed J.M. Bright for the
movie with the Hairdressing/Cosmetology shop becoming "Makeup
Central". The extra's hairstyles and
clothing evoked the early 60's. The Theory Room became "Wardrobe" and
all the extras met in the cafeteria to receive their instructions
from the director. The scenes were shot in the gym and Cubeta Stadium.
