Apollo 10½:  A Space Age Childhood
Dad
A man narrates stories of his life as a 10-year-old boy in 1969 Houston, weaving tales of nostalgia with a fantastical account of a journey to the moon.
The Get Together
Rick
A recent college post-grad, a soon-to-possibly-be-engaged couple, and a failing musician all deal with the realities of growing up as their three stories intersect over the course of one night at a house party in Austin.
Fetish
Bill
Waves
Coach Wise
A controlling father’s attempts to ensure that his two children succeed in high school backfire after his son experiences a career-ending sports injury. Their familial bonds are eventually placed under severe strain by an unexpected tragedy.
Frances Ferguson
Parole Officer
Frances Ferguson, the eponymous character at the center of Bob Byington’s new film, is discontent. Like a lot of us, she does a bit of “acting out” and pays the price —an arrest, a trial, incarceration. And then a new identity, one that’s not terribly comfortable. Nick Offerman narrates this deviant comedy, based on actual events.
Thunder Road
The Captain
A police officer faces a personal meltdown following a divorce and the death of his mother.
Support the Girls
Grady, Pugnacious Commuter
Lisa Conroy is general manager at a highway-side 'sports bar with curves', Double Whammies. She nurtures and protects her employees fiercely - but over the course of one trying day, her optimism is battered from every direction... Double Whammies sells a big, weird American fantasy, but what happens when reality pokes a bunch of holes in it?
The Golden Rut
Moses Duval
Opposites attract when a broke, bohemian playboy actor falls for a sweet natured, career driven entrepreneur with a sexy identical twin sister.
Krisha
Doyle
When Krisha returns to her estranged family for Thanksgiving dinner, past demons threaten to ruin the festivities.
Lazer Team
Football Announcer #1
Four losers are thrust into the position of saving the world when they stumble upon a UFO crash site and become genetically equipped to the battle suit on board.
The Samaritans
Jim
A man gets into a terrible traffic accident in the middle of nowhere, and two religious zealots try their best to "save" him.
You Are Your Body / You Are Not Your Body
Preacher Bill
A group of estranged siblings must reconcile with the past when the death of their mother coincides with the appearance of an apocalyptic cult, suicidal clown, and the second coming of Christ.
Boyhood
Steve Evans
The film tells a story of a divorced couple trying to raise their young son. The story follows the boy for twelve years, from first grade at age 6 through 12th grade at age 17-18, and examines his relationship with his parents as he grows.
Austin High
Chet
What would happen if a group of high school slackers grew up and became the faculty at their own high school?
God Thinks You're a Loser
Peter
Sex, drugs, money, murder - not to mention love, heartache, humiliation, guilt, revenge, redemption - are central themes in this wicked dark comedy. Tracking six not-quite-so-young oilmen and dancers as they pursue life with reckless abandon in boomtown Houston during the Eighties, the story careens from casual pick-ups to painful break-ups, from betrayal to reunion with hardly a pause for breath.
Six Gun
Will
When three cowboys show up dead, Tommy, a hard-drinking, retired bounty hunter whose ranch is on the brink for foreclosure, must saddle up one more time to stop the bandit and collect a ransom. Prepare yourself to go back in time to the real old west, when he takes the law into his own hands and kills anyone in his way.
Waking Life
Boat Car Guy
Waking Life is about a young man in a persistent lucid dream-like state. The film follows its protagonist as he initially observes and later participates in philosophical discussions that weave together issues like reality, free will, our relationships with others, and the meaning of life.
Attack Of The Bat Monsters
Join schlock impresario Francis Gordon as his intrepid crew attempt to shoot an impromptu monster movie in the three days left over from the film they’ve just wrapped. From the Saul Bass opening title homage to its highly authentic, comic evocation of 1950s’ grade-Z grind house, this was lost when it was made in 1999. But ace restorer Mark Rance (who restored Tobe Hooper’s Eggshells) found it and has lovingly refurbished it under writer/director Kelly Greene’s supervision.
The Monster Hunter
Ferrel Dickenson
Residents of an East Texas town react strangely when a serial killer invades their small town world.
SubUrbia
George the Limo Driver
A group of suburban teenagers try to support each other through the difficult task of becoming adults.
The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Heckler
When a helpful family invites two lost couples in for a good ol' down-home massacre, the prom night teens find themselves all dressed up... with no place to escape.
