News and Notes: Film Has Local Basketball Links

Former CWOSSA player (and current High School and Wildhawk Basketball Coach) Aaron Tomlin plays one of the main characters of a recently produced local feature film that is premiering this month.

Extraction Day, according to the press release, is "the story of Jacob Bradley, a man who wakes up in a warehouse in the midst of a tactical raid --- with no memory or any idea who he is.  The future of mankind rests in his hands, as he makes it his personal mission to track down the truth.  It is an action thriller about purpose, identity and how the choices we make never affect just us."

Along with Tomlin, fellow Waterloo teacher/coach Scott Reynolds and current Brock Badger Dani Elgadi (WCI '13) are other local hoops connections making brief appearances in the film.

The film will be released internationally, having been purchased in China, South Korea, and Japan.

Beginning October 20th, there will be four exclusive "pre-release" showings at Landmark Cinemas in Waterloo.  For tickets or more information, you can visit www.extractionday.com.
