Made In Texas: six films culled by Jonathan Demme on a visit to the Lone star State prove not only that independent features are alive and living on the Third Coast but they can outrun those by New York and Los Angeles indies.

Brian Hansen's' Speed of Light, is a New Wave melodrama that's as good looking as Written on the Wind. Carrie Rickey
