Note to Parents of Actors:

Parents,
I would like to film a movie with your child as one of the actors. The movie will be a remake/spoof of the 1979 Alien movie starring Sigourney Weaver. This project is just for fun, but Brian and I have put a lot of preparation into it. There is no charge for participating, but the actors will not be paid either :). There are one or two scary scenes where we will attempt to recreate some of the horror that was present in the original. One such scene is when the baby alien comes out of Kanes chest at dinner. If you want more information about the content of the film, you can read the screenplay.
