Time travel is not for the faint of heart.

An independent film, based on a real-life classified ad calling for companions to go back in time, will make its world premiere at Orcas Center.

“The ad became an internet phenomenon. Screen writer Derek Connelly found it an intriguing premise and he created a story around that,” said Orcas resident Marc Turtletaub, whose company produced the film. “It’s a quirky love story, shot in Washington state.”

“Safety Not Guaranteed” will be shown on Friday, April 13 as part of a larger event that includes food from the Kitchen, a full bar provided by New Leaf Cafe and music from local musicians. All proceeds will benefit Farm to Cafeteria.

“We love the Farm to Cafeteria program because it supports the school but also local farmers,” Turtletaub said.

Turtletaub’s partner Maureen Curran, her sister Colleen and Andrew Youngren have been instrumental in organizing the evening.

“We love what the local movie theatre does, but we thought we could bring some films here that wouldn’t be shown … and we also wanted to bring community together and generate proceeds for local non-profits,” Youngren said.

Dinner will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Madrona Room of Orcas Center. From 8 to 10 p.m., “Safety Not Guaranteed” will be shown on the big screen in the main theatre. The movie is for those 17 and older.

The cost is $20 for dinner and the movie or $10 for the film only. Tickets are at Darvill’s Bookstore.

“Safety Not Guaranteed” has only been shown at Sundance and the South by Southwest festivals. It will be released nationally on June 8.

“The film is getting great reviews, so it’s a real treat for the island,” Youngren said.

If the evening is a success, the group plans to hold more film screenings to benefit other island non-profits.

“It’s a rare opportunity to have an evening out for $20 with live music, dinner and a movie,” Turtletaub said.
