Once Again, Texas Leads the Way

Thanks to Jeff (Brooklyn) Meyerson for the link.

Opening Big in Austin - Sony Classics’ ‘Baghead’ - NYTimes.com: "LOS ANGELES — On June 13, Sony Pictures Classics, one of New York’s wilier distributors of independent films, plans to open its little comic thriller “Baghead” with a splash.

But not in New York. And not here.

The movie will show first in Austin, Tex., where its writer-directors, the brothers Mark and Jay Duplass, got their filmmaking careers in gear. Then “Baghead” will probably move on to Dallas, Houston or, maybe, Portland, Ore. — cities that, in the words of Tom Bernard, the co-president of Sony Pictures Classics, “tend to connect with what’s new and different.”"

I don't know how good the movie is, but the still of the young woman in the bikini in the NY Times article this morning is a definite incentive.
