Attention Jedi Knights
It’s been 30 years since “Star Wars” changed the science fiction landscape. We want you to prove you’re the biggest fan in Central Texas. We’ll shoot video of you and a Sith opponent (if you want, you can bring a friend, girlfriend - whatever) in our photo studio and post your video on Austin360.com. The winner of an online vote for biggest fan will be eligible for a special prize. We’ll have some props, but bring your own costumes and lightsabers and may the Force be with you!
Click here to see our promo, featuring “Jedi Rachel.”
Email Rob to participate.
Two special screenings: One with the blind, one with the Grind
Director Keith Maitland and producer Patrick Floyd are showing a sneak peek of their new doc “Keep Your Ear on the Ball” — about the rough coming of age of a blind, extremely tall Austin teenager with Marfan Syndrome — at 7 p.m. April 11 at Antone’s.
Scenes from the film, not the finished whole, will be shown, followed by a discussion.
Proceeds from donations and a silent auction will go to the film’s fiscal sponsor, the Austin-based non-profit All Blind Children of Texas.
More info about the film here.
Quentin Tarantino has personally given his blessings to a special early showing of his and Robert Rodriguez’s “Grindhouse” at 11 p.m. Thursday at the Alamo South. Which means you can see it less than a day before the rabble. Question: Is this really such a big deal?
Details here.
