Independent film producers Matthew and Sean Kohnen will screen their latest movie, “The Funeral Guest,” at a free showing at 1 p.m. Saturday at Vashon Theatre, courtesy of Raechel and Eileen Wolcott, who support indie filmmakers.
The story follows Emily, a lonely young woman who crashes funerals because the emotional rawness helps her feel a connection with others. When she crashes April Loren’s funeral and is mistaken for the deceased’s estranged sister, things get complicated, especially in light of a growing romance between Emily and April’s brother-in-law. Director Matthew, producer Sean and star Julianna Robinson, will host a Q&A after the show.
“This is, by the way, a very Vashon film,” Matthew and Sean’s mother, VoV station manager Susan McCabe, said. “I’m happy to comment, but I’m the mom, not an unbiased observer at all.”
