From Tobe Hooper's first film Eggshells, to classic films from Richard Linklater and Robert Rodriguez, to underground rarities and star-driven Hollywood fare, locally shot films provide a rare ongoing time capsule of one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S. These films document not only changes in Austin's landscape, but also its unique, enduring culture. Also Starring Austin weaves together scenes from nearly 50 years of locally shot films with commentary from some of Austin's well-known producers, directors and industry leaders to examine a community's history through the cinema lens.
