Weekend Music Preview: Woven Bones Tour Kick-Off [Beerland / Friday]
The folks at the Austin Film Festival have just announced this year's second "TBA" film, The Go-Getter, an indie drama starring Taylor Pucci and Zooey Deschanel.
The Go-Getter is Director Martin Hynes' second feature film, but you may also remember his portrayal of a young George Lucas in the 1999 short film George Lucas in Love (which we hadn't seen until now, but is hilarious).
The film will screen this Thursday night at the Bob Bullock Theater. Complete details after the jump.
The Go-Getter | Dir. Martin Hynes
Thursday, October 11
9:15pm, Bob Bullock Theater
A vivid, fun road movie, full of surprising twists (along with a little sex, some drugs and a instantly-classic rock'n'roll score by M. Ward), The Go-Getter is the story of Mercer White (Lou Taylor Pucci), an endearingly straight-arrow 19 year-old who, eight months after the death of his mother, steals a car and sets out to find the much older half-brother he hasn't seen in fourteen years.
With an amazing cast of actresses (Zooey Deschanel, Judy Greer, Jena Malone, Mara Tierney), the film is a smart and sensitive indie drama. The Go-Getter is half road film/half French New Wave love story, and the chemistry between Pulci and Deschanel is infectious. This coming of age story will leave you moved.

Austin Film Festival totally sucks. These posers won't let anyone into their parties (which are totally lame).
