This block includes student films from Garland High School’s ‘Reel Owl Cinema.’
The IT CAME FROM TEXAS Film Festival makes its triumphant return to the Plaza Theatre in Garland, located at 521 W. State Street. The second annual IT CAME FROM TEXAS Film Festival, which celebrates films made either wholly or in part within the Lone Star State, will kick off on Friday, September 13 and continue through Sunday, September 15, taking place entirely within the Plaza Theatre, on the recently remodeled square in downtown Garland. As with last year’s inaugural edition of this new fest, IT CAME FROM TEXAS will be sponsored by the City of Garland and Garland Cultural Arts.
Like last year, IT CAME FROM TEXAS will be proud to include short films made in Texas by students enrolled in Garland High School’s Reel Owl Cinema (ROC) film program. Festival Director Kelly Kitchens is delighted to spotlight these Texas students’ first attempts at making movies.
ROC’s Film Department Head, Thomas Schubert, is thrilled to be invited back: “We’re so excited to be involved again with the City of Garland’s first film festival, and I can’t wait for audiences to get a chance to see how talented and dedicated our kids are.”
This might be your chance to see the very first film from the next Scorsese or Gerwig!
