I saw a really good movie this week called Primer, about two inventors who wear ties to work in one of them's garage. They're engineers trying to come up with something to sell that excites them, and end up with more than they bargained for.
This movie was shot in Dallas in the summer of 2001, while I was living in the area. Ironically, that summer I was driving down to Austin most weekends to film my short film Covet.
Primer's a really good example of great storytelling making a small film bigger than it has any right to be. It actually kept me up at night, screwing with my head, which almost never happens anymore. I highly recommend it for a rental.
This blog chronicles the thoughts and experiences of a non-native Austinite, trying to figure out life, Texas, and himself.
