During the 1990s, Austin achieved "overnight" success and celebrity
as a vital place for independent filmmaking. Directors Richard Linklater and
Robert Rodriguez proved that locally made films could capture a national
audience. Their success helped transform Austin's homegrown film community
into a professional film industry. Chainsaws, Slackers, and Spy Kids
chronicles Austin's colorful movie history with revealing interviews from
Richard Linklater, Robert Rodriguez, Mike Judge, Quentin Tarantino, Matthew
McConaughey, George Lucas, and more. Alison Macor explores how Austin has
become a proving ground for contemporary independent cinema. BookPeople
will also be partnering with the Austin Film Society for this event, and a
portion of sales from this book tonight will go to AFS. Don’t miss out on
this great event about Austin!
