Shorts Program: KITS featuring Ty Burrell
Ty Burrell walks our red carpet before talking with a Washington West audience about two passions – his nine seasons as Phil Dunphy on ABC’s Modern Family, and his non-profit work with Kids In The Spotlight. Ty is a multiple Emmy-winning actor, but his greatest work in Los Angeles might just be the change he is creating for foster kids who are learning to therapeutically tell their challenging life stories through film art. Ty will provide the laughs, so you show up with the questions. Ty will introduce a few KITS example short films*. Kids In The Spotlight will be one recipient of Washington West 2017 box office funds.
*Some films may not be suitable for young children.
