Saturday was my first full day at Dallas International Film Festival. I started it with a perfect breakfast at my fancy hotel. This is the only place in Texas apart from the Steeping Room -- possibly the only other place in this country -- where I've had hot tea properly prepared. They put tea leaves in a teapot and brought it to the table, instead of giving me a tea bag and some lukewarm water in a container meant for cream. (Even the best Austin coffeehouses and restaurants do this, I am sorry to say.) I also had nice crispy bacon and steel-cut oatmeal with caramelized apples, much better than I can make myself.
I know, you don't want to hear about my breakfast, so let's talk about the movies. I walked over to the Angelika Film Center for my first film, or rather, collection of films.

Robert G. Putka‘s Mouthful and Jared Varava‘s Tumbleweed! are two short films that have been selected to screen at the 2012 SXSW Film Festival, which will run in Austin, TX on March 9-17.
Mouthful is Putka’s second short film, a verbally raunchy comedy starring Eilis Cahill and Conor Casey as a young couple whose relationship becomes strained thanks to an overly frank discussion about their sexual histories. The film was recently reviewed on Bad Lit: The Journal of Underground Film saying “one shouldn’t assume too much how the premise of a young man and woman discussing [male] anatomy will play out.”
Putka has also mounted an IndieGoGo campaign to help fund his filmmaking team’s trip to SXSW and for marketing material, such as posters, T-shirts, press kits and such. If you want to help out, please visit the Mouthful IndieGoGo page.
