Lights. Camera. Help. Wrap Party at Space 12
The community-oriented Space 12 on East 12th Street recalls countless other warehouse art, theater and resource cooperatives in East Austin. Judging from the murals on the exterior and the amiable informality on the interior, it’s a constant creative hive. Space 12 also doubles as a small movie venue and party location.

That’s where Lights. Camera. Help. comes in. The group cultivates creative short film for charities. It staged the last night of its festival here, following up on showings at the Millennium Youth Center and Mexican American Cultural Center. The wrap party Saturday gathered a quiet crew that included some comparatively lively public relations students from the University of Texas. (I promised to share a workshop with their class.)

LCH leaders reported twice as many film submissions and guests this year over the previous festival. Among the most charming shorts came from Amanda Rife from the Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders.

The winners of the festival will receive the proceeds from this year’s event, which includes any donations made on the web site during the festival season. Among the winners: “Including Samuel” by Dan Habib; “Girls of Daraja” from Barbara Rick and Deborah Santana; and “EcoViva, An Introduction” by Spencer Stoner.
