Over 800 Dallas school kids enjoyed a fantastic day on May 27th at Cinemark 17 Theater. They participated in a street festival and private screening of the Columbia Pictures soon-to-be-released The Karate Kid.
Organized by the DALLAS Film Society, the event included exciting appearances of Jackie Chan, Jaden Smith and Will Smith.
As Tanya Foster, the president and CEO of the DALLAS Film Society said, “This has to be the very best After School All-Stars program we have ever dreamed of. To be able to create a cultural event like this and to bus in more than 800 kids to see Jaden Smith, Jackie Chan and Will Smith ‘gettin’ jiggy with it’ at today’s celebration and screening was priceless.”
Will Smith signed autographs for kids in the audience and then took the stage to add his support to the new film.
