Two Austinites Win Spirit Awards


Still from The Unforeseen
This past Saturday, two Austinites took home Independent Spirit Awards!

Texas Filmmakers Production Fund recipient Chris Eska took home the "John Cassavetes Award" for his feature August evening, which had sneak preview screenings at SXSW and Cine Las Americas last year. You can watch Chris' post-win press conference here.

Laura Dunn also took home the "Truer than Fiction Award" for her film The Unforeseen, a documentary look at the controversy surrounding Austin's real estate development and its impact on the Edwards Aquifer and Barton Springs. You can check out our interview with Laura about The Unforeseen, and you can watch her post-win press conference here.
