☺ Two of our films with Arts + Labor were chosen to premiere at SXSW 2022! ☺

❥Lover, Beloved is an experimental blend of film, theater, and music, written and performed by Suzanne Vega and directed by Michael Tully. Suzanne vega reinterprets two talks Carson McCullers gave at the 92nd st. Y in NYC.

🤠How We Found Our Sound is a documentary short in which asleep at the wheel’s Ray Benson describes how a bunch of east coast counter-culture hippies almost singlehandedly revived interest in western swing country music back before Austin was weird.

Stay tuned for more on how you can attend screenings and special events during the fest!
