Join us at Austin Public for an AFS members-only Works-In-Progress screening of Sam Mohney and Huay Bing Law‘s GOOD LUCK FOR NOW on June 9 at 6 PM. The film will be preceded by a mixer at 5:45 PM and followed by a moderated audience feedback session.
Please note: All Works-In-Progress films are unrated, and content varies by film. To better serve the community, AFS has introduced filmmaker-suggested content warnings to Works-In-Progress events to better inform audiences about elements within each film.
The filmmakers behind this project have suggested the film would be rated R because of explicit language, noting it also portrays vaping and contains a mild jump scare.
AFS’s Works-In-Progress series provides the growing and diverse filmmaking community of Austin peer-level critiques of rough or fine cuts of their work. Screenings are free for AFS MAKE members and above ($5 for WATCH members and non-members) and are followed by moderated audience feedback sessions. Do you have a film you want to submit for Works-In-Progress consideration? MAKE level members and above can apply here. Not an AFS MAKE member? Register your membership here!
