Austin Film Festival 2013 Day#3

The day started with a spellbinding doc ICEBOUND about a relay of men and dogs fighting incredible terrain in sub zero weather to bring a vaccine to children in Nome Alaska.  Makes you fall in love with dogs and the collaboration of Americans in 1925! Next film was 120 DAYS about a man's last days in Rauleigh N.C. with his family before he's deported to Mexico.  He was stopped at a light by a cop who set this horrendous separation in motion by profiling. I sobbed audibly when he left his family.  The Q&A with the filmmaker and the Spanish speaking photographer was so informative and sensitive to the family. The last film was a terror/horror film THE MAID'S ROOM which had potential.  Scary moments but an overall meh!  Shorts finally tomorrow and a table read of Vince Gilligan's new script with a reading by the talented Paula Brooks.
