as a pimp with principles and Robert Forster as grumpy, heavily armed grandpa, it follows the redemption of an alcoholic former cop (Hawkes), who discovers a dead body in a field and decides to find out who she was and how she got there. Featuring an all-star cast (and that’s used a lot, but it really does fit in this case) including a scene-stealing Clifton Collins Jr.
A showcase for the skills of John Hawkes (and there should always be more of those), it’s also the producing debut of Oscar nominee Octavia Spencer, who has been shepherding the film for some time. The one most likely to make it to a big screen, or at least the one that should, is the Nelm’s brothers Small Town Crime.

RELATED: Edgar Wright on Baby Driver from SXSW There were a host of smaller, very interesting films floating around, some of which will make it to theaters and some of which - unfortunately - won’t but all of which you should keep an eye out for. Written, directed by and starring James Franco (and many regular Franco collaborators), it may end up being the film he is remembered for. Much like Tim Burton’s Ed Wood, The Disaster Artist takes the creation of something terrible and uses it to dissect the strangeness of the creative process (and the people involved in it). The other major film shown at SXSW this year is not even finished yet, but an early screening of the unfinished The Disaster Artist has generated Oscar buzz for James Franco’s adaptation of the book by Greg Sestero and Tom Bissell’s dissecting the creation of Tommy Wiseau’s infamous The Room. From the Austin music scene-set Song to Song to Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver and David Leitch’s Atomic Blonde, which came off as much like the director’s playlists set to action as anything else. This year’s SXSW may as well have been subtitled ‘the music video festival’ as the fest’s music roots clearly seemed to be coming through the programmer’s choices. Another South By Southwest Film Festival has come and gone and with it a score of small, interesting and fun independent films, plus previews for a handful of wide releases.
