Meet the Makers: Texas Filmmakers and Documentary Feature Production

With Jena Moreno, Alex Luster, Ford Gunter and Carlton Ahrens

Last year, these Houston filmmakers showed tantalizing clips from
their feature documentaries as works-in-progress at Cinema Arts
Festival Houston. This year, Jena Moreno premiered her completed
documentary Stitched to large crowds and great acclaim in Houston
and beyond, Alex Luster did a sneak preview of his documentary
Stick’Em Up which is currently out to festival submission, and Ford
Gunter & Carlton Ahrens have wrapped Art Car: The Movie which will
make its World Premiere at this years Cinema Arts Festival Houston’s
closing-night event.

In a discussion moderated by Alfred Cervantes, the Houston Film
Commission’s Deputy Director, the filmmakers will discuss what they
learned and what to look out for in bringing a feature documentary to
completion. They will share stories about hanging with art car
builders, illegal street artists and cutthroat competitive quilters.
Admission is Free.
