| AN INTERVIEW WITH STEVE EDMISTON Writer, Producer, Director |
||||||||||||||||
EKE Pictures announces its newest film, a short comedy written by local filmmaker Steve Edmiston. The Day My Parents Became Cool is a modern costume drama/comedy – and every teenager’s worst nightmare. A brave new world has been created where adults adopt every current teen trend in attire and body image. Emo, Goth, Skater, Jock – tattoos, piercings, thongs, sagging jeans. On every adult, everywhere, planetwide. The Day My Parents Became Cool tells the comic story of what one small group of teenagers does when every outward manifestation of their individuality and rebelliousness is co-opted - by the enemy. Think Ferris Bueller’s Day Off meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers. |

Community Involvement This film is special for three reasons – first, the theme deals with a universal subject matter that is faced by nearly every individual that has been either a parent or child (so, just about everyone!). This demographic will make the film attractive to festivals worldwide, and it will provide short programming alternatives for cable and webbased distribution, enabling a broad exposure in our community and beyond. Second, the subject matter provides an excellent discussion point and “teaching moment” for parents and teens – a way to talk about the meaning of how we adorn our bodies and what that means with respect to who we are and how we are perceived by others. Educators have already signed on to develop curriculum around the project. Third, because the film is being produced with the cooperation of two Washington State school districts, the film provides an opportunity for over 100 high school students to work artistically with arts professionals, during a time when arts curriculum is being severely reduced. |
