Adjust Your Calendars Accordingly

By Kimberley Jones, August 4, 2009, 2:58pm, Picture in Picture

Two changes to two recent items run in the paper: Firstly, Texas Filmmakers' Production Fund panelist Sam Green (The Weather Underground) has had to excuse himself from judging due to a family emergency. He's been replaced by Austin transplant Todd Rohal. We haven't yet seen Rohal's much-praised debut feature The Guatemalan Handshake – which will screen Aug. 12 at 9:25pm at the Alamo South – but we are fans of his deeply weird Ola Podrida video below.

And another change to schedule – it was reported in Film News a couple weeks back that Omega Broadcast would host a "monster Texas film party" on Aug. 8 to celebrate the new incentives bill. Turns out all the i's weren't dotted – something about building and liquor permits – so the party – which is hosted by WPFG Studios owner Robin Blesch – has been moved to Sept. 19 at 501 Studios. No word yet on if the party's "monster" status remains unaffected. Go here for details.
