St. Nick and the Texas Independent Film Network

New York, it turns out, was only the beginning. St. Nick embarks this week upon a 10-city theatrical tour, courtesy of the Texas Independent Film Network. This is a new program designed to bring independent film to theaters all across the state - in cities like Dallas, Austin and Houston, but also (and more importantly) to small towns that are too small to host film festivals or support art house theaters, but which do have grand old movie palaces, Last Picture Show style.

The first two entries in the series were Tobe Hooper's Eggshells and Eagle Pennell's The Whole Shootin' Match. We're proud to be the next installment. The first date is this coming Friday, May 6th, at the Museum Of Fine Arts in Houston. Producer Adam Donaghey will be on hand at this screening, while I'll be around for the events the following week at The Modern in Fort Worth and the Texas Theater in Dallas. I'll be hitting the road for more of them after that, and everywhere I go I should have one or two new handmade editions of the DVD to give away. I can't wait to see the film in some of these theaters.

You can find the whole schedule here.
