Join Us for a “Rental Family” Student Movie Night + Dinner + Panel!
Join us at Dendy Cinemas for a special screening of Rental Family, a warm and thought-provoking comedy-drama starring Brendan Fraser. Set in Tokyo, the film follows an American actor who takes a job with a rental family agency, a service that hires people to play the roles of friends or family for those experiencing loneliness. As his work blurs the line between performance and real connection, the film raises powerful questions about belonging, authenticity, and what it means to be truly known.
After the movie, stay for dinner and a live panel discussion, held together, featuring:
- Kutter Kellaway — theologian and thinker from Fuller Seminary
- Russ Matthews — writer and film critic
What to Expect
Together, they’ll explore how Rental Family connects with big questions around loneliness, identity, meaning, and the intersection of faith and contemporary culture.
This evening is designed especially for students, whether you’re Christian, curious about faith, or simply interested in thoughtful conversation sparked by a great film.
🎟️ $15 includes the movie, dinner, and panel discussion.
Come for the film, stay for the food and conversation, and leave with fresh perspectives and new connections.
