The Texas Round-Up

Fourteen rooms from Abilene to the Oklahoma line, many of them community-owned single screens, four with rental rates posted, plus the festival in Lubbock that wants films about the Southwest. And why Midland, Odessa, and San Angelo are not on the list.

Two El Paso festivals that pay local filmmakers, a city-owned digital cinema inside the Plaza, a cultural center with a twelve-week lead time and a museum with an eight-week one, and the nonprofit theater that is Marfa's only screen.
