In 2006, “Hill Country” won the “One to Watch” award at the Red Wasp Film Festival. This is an interesting film that showcases the stories of families who have lived in the Hill Country for generations.

Join us for for independent film and tasty menu items from Village Cafe!

Part 2 will feature Mark Beal’s film “Life Study,” a drama centered around the struggles of three characters who are linked by a drawing class. “Life Study” runs just under 90 minutes. Mark will be attending, so there will be a short Q&A immediately following the screening.

Finally, this series, like Red Wasp, is intended for adults, so parents should keep this in mind. Many of the films contain adult language and themes. We have had teenagers (and some younger kids) attend Red Wasp with their parents, but…parents really need to make this choice for their kids.

Hope to see you there!

Here’s a link to the Facebook event.
