Austin Film Fest Here I Come! [Round 2]
By Danny on Oct 20 Filed In Austin, Texas, Events Add a Comment
Austin Film Fest has been hitting the Austin Streets in Mid to Late October since 1994. Last year I ended up winning 2 Lonestar Badges for the festival and saw some [over 10] amazing films. Precious and Up in the Air to name two. This festival is a great time to see some films that are not yet released, some indie films that may never get released, and to enjoy the art that is cinematic features, including shorts! This year, I’m at it again with @SarahKWolf. I love walking across austin, feeling the chill of fall breezes against my face, and then ducking into one of Austin’s theaters with popcorn, a loved one, and quite possibly a flask in my hip pocket. 
Today, I’m picking up my badge and I couldn’t be more excited. I mean, a laminate with your credentials and your photo on it would make anyone feel important, right? I feel like I’m with the CIA when I walk up the the Paramount downtown and flash the badge to jump line!
Unfortunately, because I have been so busy with ACL, I haven’t had time to research some of the films. I know I want to see 127 Hours [see trailer below], but other than that I have no clue what is worthy of seeing! I am going to check out the schedule tomorrow, but If you have any suggestions, send them my way! I’ll be recapping my favorite films/shorts after the fest is over. If you don’t have a ticket…get one here! It’s $50 but that is 5 movies at regular price, plus you get priority in line! They are cheap and worth it for a quality cultural experience that keeps Austin, Texas, what it is today! –@SweetLeafDanny
