Works-In-Progress: PACE YOURSELF

Works-In-Progress

Join us at Austin Public for a Works-In-Progress screening of Samantha Hussey‘s PACE YOURSELF on May 27 at 6 PM. The film will be preceded by a mixer at 5:45 PM and followed by an audience feedback session moderated by Bethiael Alemayoh (AFS Filmmaker Advisory Committee member, writer/director, and Director of Content & Distribution at Austin PBS). 

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, emotional distress, and cigarette smoking. NOTE: This film contains sequences with strobing lights.

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!
