Local filmmaker Sareta Cheathem says Helen Phillips is scheduled to play the role of a fitness coach during a March 25 movie making workshop at Kosciuszko Middle School in Hamtramck, an enclave of Detroit.

Cheathem says the students in the Hamtramck Odyssey Project for Excellence have been learning filmmaking techniques as part of the program. The workshop introduces them to healthy choice and fitness options.

The video is expected to be released over the summer.

Phillips lives in Sterling Heights, a Detroit suburb. She won the popular reality show in May 2009 after losing 140 pounds.
