"The Truman Show" is one of Ken's favorite movies. So he has organized this potluck dinner watch party for anyone who wants to watch the movie as a group while eating dinner and snacks.
Ken Underwood, a member of the neighborhood potluck group and professional content strategist, said: "I picked this movie because it displays character development and purely living in your identity. It shows what you can do when you believe in yourself and utilize your highest potential. It's a movie everyone should see."
"The Truman Show" (1998) was written by Andrew Niccol ("Gattaca", Simone", "The Host"), directed by six-time Academy Award nominee Peter Weir ("Witness", "Dead Poets Society"), and stars Jim Carrey.
"The Truman Show" is about Truman Burbank, who was selected from birth and officially adopted by a television studio. Truman became the unsuspecting star of The Truman Show, a reality television program filmed 24/7 through thousands of hidden cameras and broadcast worldwide.
If you have never seen this movie, then you are in for a real treat! If you have already seen it, then you'll enjoy watching the movie again and discussing it with a group of great neighbors.
This free event is a watch party held in a private home. So we can pause the movie, make comments, ask questions, etc. After the movie, guests are welcome to stay and discuss the movie, or leave at any time.
What to Bring: Guests bring any food item they want to bring, enough to share with 10 to 12 people. Main dish, side dish, salad, bread, appetizers, etc. Bring food only. Hosts are providing plates, utensils, cups, and drinks.
The plan is that after everyone has arrived (on time), we will get plates of food and immediately start watching the movie. Meaning: We will not be eating the dinner and then watching the movie, nor will we be watching the movie and eating dinner afterward. We'll eat while watching the movie. We hope guests bring food that everyone will enjoy for dinner, not just snacks.
Who? This event is open to men, women and children accompanied by an adult. This is a limited seating event. You must RSVP in order to attend.
FYI: If you have attended a watch party at this location before, note that a new TV screen is now in place which is over twice the size of the previous screen.
