Nueva Onda Puts Some Austin-Only Shorts in Your Salsa

It’s time to channel the patio-dwelling, agua fresca-drinking short film lover inside of you, for Nueva Onda restaurant will be serving up some Purely Austin Shorts tomorrow night free of charge. All you have to do is show up, sit down, and stuff your face.

The synopses of all four films sound promising and the line up is eclectic enough to suit a variety of tastes. The night begins with Room of Ghosts -- a haunting tale of loss, amnesia, and…ghosts. In Anatomy of a Frog, a young girl dissects amphibians (literally) before dissecting her family (figuratively, we think). Blue Suede Wings showcases the tooth fairy-capturing abilities of an 8-year-old. The last film, Lord of the Weins, is a 25-minute documentary revolving around the Wiener Dog Races in Buda, TX. Multiple sites describe the short documentary as Best in Show meets Hands on a Hard Body.

Dinner and a few wholly Austin-infused short movies are a day away. Nueva Onda accepts no weather-based excuses -- the (covered) outdoor screenings go down rain or shine.
