It'll be a freaky Friday in Burien as local film shown
Wed, 08/26/2009
Highline schools Superintendent John Welch dressed in punked-out teen fashions?
That's what moviegoers will see on the big screen Friday night, Aug. 21 at Lake Burien School Park.
The locally-made "The Day My Parents became Cool" is featured on a double bill with the similarly-themed "Freaky Friday" as part of Burien's Movies in the Park series.
The movie was filmed at Burien's Highline High School and features Supt. Welch and local teens.
"The Day My Parents Became Cool" is a modern costume comedy, and every teenager's worst nightmare.
When a thousand-year comet crosses the night sky, a brave new world is created where adults instantly adopt every teen trend in attire and body image.
This short film was shown at the Seattle International Film Festival and was a winner at the 2009 International Family Film Festival.
Moviegoers are invited to bring lawn chairs, blankets and popcorn to the park, Southwest 148th Street and 16th Avenue Southwest, for the free double feature.
The movies will begin at dusk-around 8-8:30 p.m.
For more information call Burien Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services at 206-988-3700. In case of rain the movies will be moved to the Burien Community Center, Southwest 146th Street and 4th Avenue Southwest.
