Did you read the article in the Statesman about Alison Macor’s upcoming book, Chainsaws, Slackers and Spy Kids? If not, do that first, then join us for her book signing this coming Sunday, March 7 at 3 PM at Book People (603 N Lamar).
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! Today at 3PM.
