I officially finished post-production on The Cassidy Kids yesterday morning after an all night sound mix. I laid back the final sound onto the final picture HD tape and then breathed a huge sigh of relief. I spent the rest of the day making clip reels and then I headed over to the very strange, and yet incredibly profitable, Texas Film Hall of Fame. All I know is that this event is the single largest fundraising evening that the Austin Film Society puts on. It's a brilliant idea -- pull together a $10,000 per table event, have an auction, give out a few awards, and go home with $300K in grant money to distribute to struggling filmmakers. Snap!

After that I headed over to The Whiskey Bar to congratulate Heather Courtney on her successful screening of Letters from the Other Side. Then I went over to the opening night party and waited in line to go out onto the balcony. Who ever heard of waiting in line for half an hour to go out onto a silly balcony?!
