East Austin youth (ages six to 14) put their imaginations and their mettle to the test by writing, shooting (on digital video cameras), editing, and acting in their own films. Their efforts, including shorts about killer monkeys and the ghost that haunts Metz Elementary, will be screened Friday night at the first ever Comacho Homegrown Film Festival. Check out what the next wave of film renegades has to offer … and stay for the sure-to-be-good-for-a-laugh reel of bloopers and outtakes at the end. Call Don at 391-1863 with questions.
