Party raising funds for film production “SunBoyz” is about four best friends in 1988 Spokane and how they navigate a party-fueled weekend. Or it will be, when it’s finished. Filmmaker Josh Nicholson, a Spokane native, is hoping to raise the money he needs to complete the film he calls “Stand By Me” meets “Napoleon Dynamite.” To that end, friends and supporters can party like it’s the 1980s at the Bing Crosby Theatre on Friday with music from Quarter Monkey and the Rub. The fun is all part of a Kickstarter campaign to raise $20,000. Friday’s show begins at 7 p.m., with admission ranging from $25 to $75.
