Join us at Austin Public for a Works-In-Progress screening of Andrew C. Richey’s TONKAWA: THEY ALL STAY TOGETHER on May 15 at 6 PM. The film will be preceded by a mixer at 5:45 PM and followed by an audience feedback session moderated by filmmaker Kelly Daniela Norris.
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 PG-13 due to explicit language, racial discrimination, state violence, discussions of child abuse, and cultural and ethnic genocide.
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!
ABOUT THE FILM
TONKAWA: THEY ALL STAY TOGETHER follows the life of the Tonkawa tribe over two years as they work to firmly secure their independence and prowess as a first nation in modern society. Having recovered economically and in numbers, they must now work to preserve, rediscover, and redefine who they are as a tribe historically, culturally, and socially. While struggling through these challenges, the tribe comes together and attempts to reclaim their sacred place of origin, their “Red Mountain” in Central Texas.
