Texas Filmmaker's Showcase at DGA Theater, Los Angeles

"When my first short film was selected for the Texas Filmmakers Showcase years ago, the Houston Film Commission flew me to Los Angeles for an elegant screening at the Director's Guild of America Theater. The interesting people I met and the incredible experience opened my eyes to the possibility of making a career out of movies."

- Chris Eska, AUGUST EVENING - 2008 Independent Spirit John Cassavetes Award.
