SXSW - Day 3


Good evening! The sun came out today. Yay!







Today I saw a documentary called "Sons of a Gun" about a group of 4 men, not related, that live together as a family. The "dad" is an alcoholic and owes the IRS more than a million dollars and the "sons" are 3 schizophrenic men. Brought home the point that you do not have to be related to a group of people to be a family. Also there are way more mentally ill people in the US than there are proper homes or facilities.

Before that I saw "True Adolescents" by Craig Johnson starring Mark Duplass and Melissa Leo. This was Craig's first feature film and he definitely has promise. Mark Duplass is one of my favorite indie actors. You might remember him from "The Puffy Chair"or "Hannah Takes the Stairs". The picture is a bit blurry but from the left are Bret Loehr, Carr Thompson, Craig Johnson and Mark Duplass. Wonderful film. well acted...so far this film and "Moon" are my top two.

Oh and some great music in that movie as well. The Blakes and Band of Horses.
