AUSTIN FILM FESTIVAL CO-FOUNDER SPOTLIGHTS MUST-SEE MOVIES IN THIS YEAR'S LINEUP

"They have this incredible connection to this piece of ground, which I think is so Texan. Sometimes where you’re from is such a connector. You can’t take that out of people. No matter what happens between them, that connection is there. They captured that in a way that is very of this place, especially at a time when this town is changing so much. That movie particularly hit me in a place that I’ve been for almost 45 years."- Barbara Morgan, Austin Film Festival Co-Founder | Austin Culture - Click here for the Article

TEXAS FILMED MOVIES MAKE BIG DEBUTS AT AUSTIN FILM FESTIVAL

“A lot of the crew members are also my friends from [UT Austin]. We all met and fell in love with film — and each other — in Texas & Austin, and a lot of them were not living here anymore. It was just wonderful for us all to come back together. And while we were filming it, we kept saying ‘What a dream for this to premiere in Austin at the Austin Film Festival. That was our goal. That was our compass.”

LIGHTS, CAMERA, AUSTIN: INTERVIEW WITH SOPHIE MILLER

“What happens when you must say goodbye to the only family home you have ever known? If you are one of the Sterling sisters of writer/director Sophie Miller’s Smithville-shot dramedy Ranch Water, you throw a farewell party with your older siblings to celebrate what has passed and to contemplate what the future may hold. The weekend reunion at the ranch house, though, is not all about consuming good food and drink and sharing formative memories.”

AUSTIN FILM FESTIVAL: TEXAS' SHOWCASE FOR WRITERS IN MOVIES STARTS THURSDAY

"Filmed over 17 days near Bastrop, Ranch Water follows a pack of sisters and their friends who reunite for a final weekend at the family ranch before its sale. For Miller, the story imitated its filming, as many cast and crew were friends. One of those real-life friends is Austin native Aubrey Elenz, who both stars in and produced the film."
