Lone Star International Film Festival

This was sent to me by Erik Clapp, a filmmaker in Ft. Worth.
Go check out his work!

Howdy Folks!

Just wanted to let everyone know that my fascination/obsession for time-lapse photography has finally paid off because my short film, "The Fort" is an official selection and in competition at the Lone Star International Film Festival in Fort Worth from November 9-13th. "The Fort" is a short film composed of nothing but time-lapse photography at night of the city of Fort Worth. This was shot all at night this very hot summer, as i tried to capture the spirit and energy of Fort Worth at night. This is produced by myself and Coleman Anderson. I am very happy that the film will appear at the Lone Star fest in Fort Worth. I can't think of a better place for it to be seen first and on the big screen. 

"The Fort" will be playing at the AMC Palace on Thursday November 10th at 4:30 with a series of other wonderful short films selected for the festival. I am not sure if it will play at other times during the festival, but I will let you know if it does.The festival itself looks to be another great time with tons of feature film premieres from the likes of George Clooney, and Willie Nelson will be around to receive a lifetime achievement award. There is a link below to the LSIFF festival where you can see all the films playing and purchase tickets.

Hope to see you there, and thank you so much for your continued support of my adventures in filmmaking! 

Thanks!
