FIlmmaker David Reyes is totally Texas AF at the Austin Revolution Film Festival.
Where does a filmmaker find the title for a movie? For David Reyes, it was in the crowd at a Round Rock Express game."I saw this girl with a shirt that said, 'Texas AF,' and I thought that was the coolest thing."pays homage to the experience of young adulthood in Austin. It's the fourth feature from Reyes' Austin-based production company, X Horn Productions, which he launched in 1999 with his wife, Lisa Reyes.
“I wanted to do a film that celebrated the friendship you make at that time in your life when you’re on your own, and you find that person who just kind of gets you.”The buddy comedy follows two roommates, Flaco and Eddy , as they navigate friendship, romance, and the beginnings of COVID-19 as twentysomethings in Austin. Though Reyes began writing the film's script in 2020, many of the scenes were inspired by true events from his years as a University of Texas student new to Austin.
Along with scenic shots of UT Tower, South Congress, and a glistening Downtown skyline, Reyes believes no Austin portrayal is complete without the proper soundtrack to capture the city's world-renowned local music scene. Therefore, the director included music from many local artists in, including funky rock tracks from Cotton Mather guitarist Whit Williams."I want to show off not just Austin itself, but also the talent that's around it," Reyes said.
Filmed over nine days in 2021, Reyes worked around many barriers during the pandemic, showcasing the colorful lifestyles of young Austinites zealous for adventure while confined to minimal COVID-safe shooting locations. However, Reyes' flexibility in adjusting his script and cast to suit public health protocols demonstrates the film's namesake. Reyes said,"I consider myself a very Texan person.
