Sooooooo. we waited on line for an hour and a half and did not get into THE CHEF at the Paramount. But have no fear with our film passes we ran right next door to the Stateside and saw a delightful comedy TAKE CARE written and directed by a first time filmmaker Liz Tuccilo. A truthful narrative about life in NYC when you live in a 4 story walk-up and are incapacitated following a car accident. Where you were hit by a car! The Q&A with crew and Thomas Sadoski (NEWSROOM), Nadia Dajani, et al was delightful. We then ran over to The Convention Center where we finally got our wristbands, ran into Laura Galt Snavely, and saw a documentary about the infamous drug lord El Chapo. LEGEND OF SHORTY is living proof of the risks documentarian filmmakers take when they select to tell the truth about scary subjects. An informative and humbling Q&A followed reminding us of the courage of these filmmakers.
As always running into filmmakers, film lovers and actors I've worked with at UT is a wonderful part of this film festival for me.
Tomorrow in the evening I bow to my husband's love of vampire and the supernatural.
In the a.m. of course we'll be on line for NO NO: A DOCKUMENTARY. Supporting Austin filmmakers.
