Lone Star International Film Festival 2011

1991's Slacker is a love story to Austin, Texas and a near-documentary portrait of that era in its history. For twenty years, Austin has been defined by the film and its band of eccentric city-dwellers, dragworms and proto-hipsters. Two decades later, a new generation of filmmakers have emerged in the wake of this film. It is now their turn to tell the story of Austin. 24 of Austin's brightest young filmmakers have banded together to update Slacker with their own perspectives on the city. Re-creating a stream-of-consciousness chronicle of a day in Austin, presenting the various personalities and locations that give the city its identity.
