NPAC

"No Parents Allowed Club"

NPAC is a club formed by the nieces and nephews of Aunt Kay and Uncle Chip who took them on adventures great and small. Each summer during "Cousin Camp" the kids would gather at Aunt & Uncle's farm, write a movie script one night and film it the next day. Over five summers they came up with five films, enough for their own NPAC film festival. None of this would have been possible without the talents of their big cousin, Derek Pearson. Enjoy the pure silliness of their creative geniuses.
