Austin Film Society names annual fund’s panelists
Oscar-nominated documentarian Sam Green, animator Emily Hubley and Sundance award-winner Alex Rivera are the review panel for the Austin Film Society’s annual Texas Filmmakers’ Production Fund.
With the help of these three panelists, the film society has a goal of giving $100,000 in cash, plus in-kind support to emerging film and video artists in the state of Texas. AFS has raised $70,000 to date and is actively raising the remaining $30,000 from its broad base of supporters. AFS received 183 applications to the Texas Filmmakers’ Production Fund this year.
Grant recipients will be announced Aug. 27.
While in Austin, the panelists will screen their movies:
Sam Green presents “The Weather Underground” at 7 p.m. Aug. 23 at the Alamo South.
Alex Rivera presents “Sleep Dealer” at 9:30 p.m. Aug. 23 at the Alamo South.
Emily Hubley presents “The Toe Tactic” at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 24 at the Alamo South.
