LETTER TO OUR STAKEHOLDERS
We did it! With gifts from 1,000 donors, AFS resurrected an abandoned movie theater and became full-time cinema operators on May 26, 2017. Thirty-two years into this journey, we took a great leap forward overnight, opening a café-bar and event center and multiplying our film offerings sixfold.
For our opening film, we wanted to get it just right. We selected TENDER MERCIES, a quintessentially Texas film with a theme of resurrection. Initially overlooked but eventually garnering best screenplay and best actor Academy Awards for Horton Foote and Robert Duvall, TENDER MERCIES has taken its place as an American independent film treasure, depicting a certain kind of Texan for the ages, while showing the global reach of Texas stories.
At Austin Studios, we hosted multiple feature films during 2017—homegrown, indie, and Hollywood—as well as episodic shows and dozens of commercials. Texas is a place where people want to come and film, and AFS is helping Texas become a permanent industry power despite the fact that state incentive funding has decreased. Texas has something that takes generations to build, and that is film culture. It’s the culture that is the fertile ground for a truly sustainable industry.
Film culture means preserving and showing the great films from the past and from all over the world—films that offer a window into others’ experiences and perspectives, that provide us with understanding of the times we live in, and wondrously entertain.
Film culture also means that filmmaking is woven into the fabric of the community and made accessible to all who are drawn to this art form, which is integral to Austin’s identity. At our community media center, Austin Public, we ran filmmaker and community programs that put dollars, cameras, and knowledge into the hands of hundreds of emerging and aspiring filmmakers and youth during out-of-school time. Through AFS Grants, we distributed over $100,000 in cash to Texas filmmakers and ran workshops, labs, and peer-review programs designed to position artists for career leaps. Our filmmakers received critical acclaim, won awards, and garnered international attention for Austin.
The stories, statistics, and credits in this annual report are our tribute to the people who make this Texas film community great. Whether we are filmmakers, moviegoers, journalists, civic leaders, or philanthropists—we are all working together to see Austin thrive.
We thank you for another best-ever year as we work to fulfill the potential of the Austin Film Society to make Austin synonymous with great film.

MEDIA MAKING: AN ESSENTIAL SKILL
→AFS Film Club at Ortega Elementary produced an exceptional fi lm which won an audience award at the 2017 Emergencia Youth Film Competition (part of the Cine Las Americas International Film Festival).
Our annual Summer Camp at Austin Public introduced two new camp themes: Special Eff ects and Speak Loud / Use Your Voice. Speak Loud, a program for teens, explores the power of fi lm as a platform to address pressing social issues.↓
↑AFS amplifi ed our youth outreach through partnerships, which extended AFS resources and education programs to new youth audiences. Our FY17 partners included the Andy Roddick Foundation, AISD, The Contemporary Austin, Young Journey, Latinitas, COA Youth & Family Services (Youth Career Fest), Alliance for Media Arts and Culture, Alamo Drafthouse, The Austin/Travis County Summer Youth Employment Program and HEB Tournament of Champions.

AFS teaches the art and craft of fi lmmaking to Austin’s youth for enrichment and literacy via afterschool programs in AISD public schools, summer camps, partnerships, tours, and workshops.
TOOLS & TRAINING FOR ALL
↑Among the many special workshops and professional development programs off ered, some of our most popular were documentary master classes with Kirsten Johnson and Robert Greene (presented by the International Documentary Association), mask-making with special eff ects makeup artist Eric Zapata, shooting on fi lm with Kodak, and a day-long grip training which attracted students from around the state.
↑ AFS retooled the Austin Public Producer program, which off ers community access to production resources, including equipment, studios and channels. With the changes to the program, AFS was able to signifi cantly lower the cost of entry to new producers, making the program more accessible to all. This year also brought an expansion to Austin Public’s regular program of classes, with additions such as Intermediate Cinematography, Intermediate Editing, and Intro to DaVinci Color Correction.

AFS teaches the craft of fi lmmaking to fi lmmakers of all levels. Tools, training and education programs are off ered via our community media center, Austin Public, where aff ordable options and scholarships ensure access for the entire community.

In order to help filmmakers take advantage of the most critical relationship development and career opportunities, AFS provides travel grants to artists when their films are invited to the world’s most prestigious film festivals, development labs, and fellowship programs. Supported by AFS Travel Grants, Patrick Bresnan and Ivete Lucas accompanied their short documentary, THE RABBIT HUNT, to Sundance and the Berlinale.

Yen Tan was one of the 34 filmmakers whose projects received support from AFS Grant funds in 2017. Yen’s narrative feature film, 1985, was awarded $10,000 in cash, which will go towards the costs of post-production. When the film is complete, Yen will have the option to create a 35mm exhibition film print of the movie to show at festivals and 35mm-equipped theaters, thanks to an additional in-kind AFS Grant from Kodak.
TEXAS ARTISTS LEVEL UPAFS supports promising Texas artists, nurturing them towards career leaps by providing grants, programs, and services.
↑ AFS was honored to offer a new grant through the Harrison McClure Endowed Film Fund, which celebrates the life of aspiring filmmaker Harrison McClure through an annual award.
