Richard Linklater Reminds Everyone to Take a Much Needed Deep Breath

While righteous indignation can certainly feel good from time to time, it is not necessarily the most attractive or productive posture to take in all cases, especially when you aren't privy to all of the facts and context that surround a situation. Instead of pulling out our ole' jump-to-conclusions mat, perhaps the better reaction would be to stop feeling like some injustice is being perpetrated on our community by horrible dictators and just take a deep breath already. In an open letter to the Austin community, Richard Linklater reminds us all to do just that, dispelling some of the recent gossip around what is happening at Austin Studios, and what it all means for Austin's film community. We're sure that any changes made regarding the future of Austin Studios' tenant pool are carefully considered and if you wish to be more involved in the process, you should attend the open forum to discuss the pending new tenant, Soundcheck Austin, on June 25th at 11am.
