Hal Holbrook's first

That Evening Sun won the Audience Award for Best Narrative film, and the Best Ensemble Award at the South By Southwest, aka SXSW, film festival in Austin last week. 

I bring this up for two reasons. First of all, a friend of mine produced this film and she is one of the nicest people in this town. She is going to make it big without screwing anyone over, and by being a genuine person. Mark my words, it can be done. I got to see the film at a screening before it was finished.  I have to say, if handled right, the film's star, Hal Holbrook, could be in for an Oscar nomination.

This brings up the second reason...surprisingly, this is Holbrook's first film lead. He remarked on it himself, that this was the first time he was the star of a movie. He did it up right too, because I think he is in every frame of the film...or close to it. He's really terrific. He's also another of the nicest people in this business.

If karma has anything to do with it...this film should do well. No release date yet.
