What better way to celebrate back-to-back state championships for the King’s boys basketball team than with a movie?
If you missed the premier of the documentary “Saved For A Reason,” a powerful film chronicling the Knights’ 2014-15 basketball season, there will be another chance to catch the emotional documentary this weekend.
A showing has been scheduled for 4 p.m. Sunday at Aurora Community Nazarene Church in Shoreline. Tickets are $5 apiece and can be purchased HERE.
“Saved For A Reason” is the true story of the King’s boys basketball team’s 2014-15 season, which covers the Knights’ run in the state playoffs after a life-threatening crash on the way home from a bi-district playoff game. The hour-long documentary is being shown again after recently being premiered to the general public a couple weeks ago at a sold out Edmonds Center for the Arts.
The movie was done by local film producer Jason Pamer, who received production assistance from over 20 King’s students.
“I think the quality and the level of production surprises some people,” King’s head coach Rick Skeen said after the premier. “We hope it ends up at a film festival, that it gets picked up somewhere and really gets going. But you watch it up there and it’s not a stretch to go, ‘I could turn on a 30-for-30 and it looks like that.’ So, I think that’s what’s probably surprised some folks. Jason Pamer, Tim Kressin and Davis Goslin they did an amazing job.”
Skeen said the producers hope to schedule future showings, as well as release the documentary on DVD and Blu Ray. They are also looking into entering “Saved For A Reason” in film festivals and release it on a streaming service, such as iTunes, Hulu or Netflix.
