3. Look Out For Film Festivals
Film festivals aren’t just for coffee slurping hipsters. This year’s Dallas International Film festival included a number of major awards players such as The French Dispatch, C’mon, C’mon and Belfast. If you’re not sure where to start, look at the lineup for Fort Worth’s upcoming Lone Star Film Festival.

In case you hadn’t noticed, movie theaters have been in a bit of a sticky situation lately. While COVID-19 seemed to shorten the shelf-life of the traditional theaters, the rise of streaming content and “peak TV” certainly didn't help.
