Documentary Explores a Queer Nightlife Well-Lived

Austin’s queer community has gotten used to the fluidity of actual spaces, having lost many places over the years to the city’s rising costs and opportunistic developers. In their upcoming documentary, I Need Space, directors Hannah Varnell, Ivy Chiu, and Lauren Yap aim to tackle what the queer space of Austin is right now before it becomes just a memory.

Austin Film Festival Review: Sam & Kate

The novelty of Sam & Kate is in the casting, of having Dustin and Jake Hoffman play father and son, and Sissy Spacek and Schuyler Fisk play mother and daughter. The novelty inevitably wears off but what's under that gimmick is a surprisingly touching drama about death, aging, loss and, yes, the bonds between aging parents and their adult children.

Shana Feste Says Run Sweetheart Run

If you just known Shana Feste from soft-focus crowd pleasers like Country Strong, you might be surprised that she's the writer/director of twisted #MeToo horror Run Sweetheart Run.
