Internet Video Sensation Hits The Big Screen

YACHT ROCK SING-ALONG

(JD Ryznar, USA, 2005, DVD, 45 min.)

SEATTLE PREMIERE!

The time has come to praise Yacht Rock. Not the music itself although if you do have a secret hankering for sultans of smooth like Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald and Christopher Cross, we promise that your secret's safe with us. No, we're talking about Channel 101's online comedy series, which does for session-musician-driven soft rock what Saturday Night Live's Lazy Sunday did for blue-eyed rap enthusiasts. The brainchild of JD Ryznar, Hunter Stair and Lane Farnham, Yacht Rock brilliantly juxtaposes blank parody with over-the-top slapstick as it skillfully skewers anyone who's ever had a member of Toto play on their album. Northwest Film Forum brings you Yacht Rock Sing-Along, an up-to-the-episode history of Yacht Rock, on the big screen for the first time. We urge you to BYOB - ring your own boats (wink, wink). $5 Suggested Donation.
