This year’s Cine Las Americas International Film Festival brought ALL the energy 💫 From honoring Lou Diamond Phillips with an official city proclamation — to celebrating powerful Latino storytelling on and off screen, the red carpet last night was packed with creativity and “corazón” ❤️
With appearances from Elizabeth Avellán, Celeste and Adrian Quesada, Marta Méndez Cross, Ernie Bustamente, Pedro Gonzales and several local and regional filmmakers, we were touched by the passion shared by all who attended. And ending the night with a 35mm screening of La Bamba? Absolute magic. 🎬🎞️

Austin’s music industry loves this guy … and we do too 🎶✨ Our longtime friend and colleague Austin singer-songwriter and music industry veteran Brandon Wayne DeMaris (and owner of @goodwolflive 🐺🎸) is celebrating the release of his brand new EP, Be Here Now. His newest project is his most intimate work yet, tracing the emotional terrain of parenthood: the strain, the fear of losing yourself inside responsibility, the pressure on marriage, and the hope that somehow survives it all. Honest, vulnerable, and beautifully unguarded, these songs lean into the spirit of artists like Wilco, Ryan Adams, and early Counting Crows while carving out something deeply personal of his own.
Tonight unfolds through the chapters of Brandon’s musical journey at a private showcase starting at 7pm. If you are in the local industry and want to come along and join us, PM us for deets ✨💫
Or check out Spotify or Apple Music for his new tunes…

This week, NASA published a piece capturing their time at Space House, including powerful remarks from Vanessa Wyche, Director of NASA Johnson Space Center. Just days before launch, she spoke to our attendees about Artemis as a rare moment of global alignment - and it’s safe to say, she absolutely called it 🚀🌕 💯
Over that same weekend, we were also joined by Nilufar Ramji, NASA Johnson Lead Public Affairs Officer, who underscored how communication and collaboration are shaping this new era of exploration. We’re incredibly grateful to both of these leaders - and to all who helped make Space House such a meaningful gathering 🙏
As we look ahead to 2027, we’re excited to connect with many of you about what’s next: ideas, partnerships, and opportunities to help shape where this industry is headed. It’s with this beautiful community that we’re building something unforgettable at @sxsw - keeping space front and center in the cultural conversation.
