“A sharp yet gloriously sugarcoated satire on corporate America.”
—Film Comment
“It is hard not to fall head over cowboy boots in love with David Byrne’s impressive first film.”
—Screen Slate
“Deeply funny and free-spirited, TRUE STORIES is a nuanced, acutely perceptive mosaic of a film, a merging of comedy and music and art.”
—Current
You may know Austin’s own Anne Rapp as a screenwriter and filmmaker in her own right, but for decades she was “the script supervisor to get” for the most interesting directors in Hollywood and elsewhere. She joins us LIVE on Thursday, April 24, for a special screening of David Byrne’s ode to American weirdness, TRUE STORIES, with her reminiscences of the shoot and her fellow collaborators on the film.
