Film synopsis from SXSW.com: After an emergency landing in a field, a hungry pilot tries to convince his onboard badminton team that they need to resort to cannibalism.
Is this your first time at SXSW? If not, what has your experience been like in previous years?
This is my first time.
Why should audiences be excited to see your film?
Audiences should be excited to see my film because Neil Flynn is the funniest damn comedian around, and he is alive and quite well.
Are there any other films screening that you hope to see?
I’m really looking forward to seeing “Shortbus.” John Cameron Mitchell’s husband taught a class I took at Yale; they’re hyper intelligent.
Any restaurants, parties, tourist locations you want to get to while in town? If you live in Austin, where do you suggest out-of-towners visit while in town?
If I’m not laughing at my own jokes and making an utter dolt of myself at David Cross’ party by the end of the week, I’m walking home.
When you think of Texas and the movies, what is the first thing that comes to your mind?
Cool, air-conditioned theaters…such as Alamo Lamar 1. Come there to check out “Alive & Well,” screening with “American Zombie” at 9:30pm on the opening nights of the festival! I’ll have a DVD with extras of Neil Flynn’s hilarity that’s worth fighting for!
