I have to share the FRESH, HOT, EXCITING news that my short film Love Me Tenderizer (2022) will have its World Première at the
@austinfilmfest !
This feels like a homecoming of the first order. I can’t wait to go back to a city that I love, a city that made me, and show off this labor of love, sweat, tears, and spice to the public for the first time.
AUSTINITES! Buy your tickets now! We’ll be at
@longcenter on Oct 30 at 9:30PM and then at the Galaxy Theater on Nov 1 at 3:45PM. You can get a film pass or a badge for the fest in advance at their website, or a limited number of individual tickets will be available for purchase at the venues right before the show. If you bring a bottle of any sort of spice, I will try to sign it for you (if you’d like me to).
Huge thanks to the Austin Film Fest team for giving us room to screen in the “Oddballs and Obscurities” Short Film program, which is sincerely the best place for this insane movie/filmmaker. In their words, the film is “very funny” and “quick-witted”. Hell yeah. And a huge congrats to my wonderful collaborators:
