We are Reinventing the Patriot
EKE Pictures, the Seattle-based, award-winning film production company (Crimes of the Past, The Day My Parents Became Cool, A Relative Thing, The Periphery Project Volume I (2012)), has acquired the rights to adapt the Paige Edmiston essay into a short documentary film. Returning to Federal Way High School, the adapted essay serves as the film’s spine and narrative, spoken by a multitude of students from a single, large, diverse, wonderful public high school – with a large dose of student activism, local politics, and plenty of superhero fun thrown in the mix.
The film simultaneously tells a new superhero story. In 2012, the students of Federal Way High School led a passionate, eight month campaign to turn a 15 point electoral loss into a 20 point victory, assuring a $120 million state of the art new school. These students will never attend the new school because they will have long since graduated. The film follows their activism in the face of withering community criticism, using their civic heroism as illustration of the essay’s central theme.
