Re: Austin Film Festival 2011
I want to back up the comment that these calls and offers for the badges are not just trying to squeeze money out of you.
I went to the Austin Film Festival two years ago, and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had in my writing career. Every other festival I've been to has been geared towards directors or fans. Austin is all about the writer.
The panels are excellent. You might get stuck listening to Lawrence Kasdan or Shane Black complain about the Hollywood process for two hours, but you're listening to Lawrence "Raiders of the Lost Ark" Kasdan and Shane "Kiss, Kiss Bang, Bang" Black. Everything they say is useful.
The parties are a blast. I made a bunch of writer friends I still talk with and exchange scripts. And Austin is an awesome city.
Can't recomment the festival enough. I'm excited to go back this year.
