The Texas Round-Up
Notes from working in Texas film.


Austin and Central Texas: every independent screen a filmmaker can book.
Twelve rooms between Waco and Kerrville that will program or rent to a filmmaker, four more to call first, with the path in, the format they take, and what changed this year.


The AFS grant machine keeps paying for the next Texas filmmakers.
Fifteen short-film grants from 225 applications, a feature cycle worth up to $20,000, and a March gala at Troublemaker Studios. How Austin funds its own.


Austin's screens are in flux and the nonprofit is the one expanding.
The Paramount goes dark for a $65 million restoration while AFS Cinema adds a third screen. What that says about who's betting on theatrical here.
