Kevin Smith Returns to Austin
Kevin Smith must really like Austin. We can’t say we blame him.
The portly auteur, who was here for a screening of Clerks II in July, is returning to town. This time he comes in support of his new film Catch and Release, which will screen at the Austin Film Festival.
Smith stars in the movie, which will screen at 7:30pm on Friday the 20th, and will conduct a Q&A following the film. He is also scheduled to take part in a panel discussion, the time and subject matter of which is still to be determined. Let’s hope Catch and Release is a little less ribald than his Clerks follow-up, lest he face the wrath of Joel Siegel yet again.
Catch and Release synopsis, from the AFF website:
"From the writer who brought you 28 Days, Erin Brockovich, and In Her Shoes comes a wry romantic comedy. Gray Wheeler struggles to accept the death of her husband and the secrets he kept from her as she rebuilds her life. When Wheeler and Fritz Messing are thrown together by a not-so-simple twist of fate, they find love entering their lives at the most unexpected time."
The Austin Film Festival takes place October 19-26. Buy your passes and badges here.
