home to Missouri years ago to shoot my first film as a filmmaker, she
gave me a short film script she had written to read. Once reading it,
I knew I had to make that movie. That first film exploded, and here
we are years later, a successful filmmaking team, with a following
around the world. It doesn't get much better than that”.
Dockery

Truman
states, “You just have to make your movie. Don't listen to what
anyone else says. There is an audience for your film. Everyone has a
story to tell. If you have the courage to make your film your own
way, and it's an original, creative idea that only you can tell,
people will want to see your movie”.
The
RXSM Film Festival is scheduled for March 8-14 in Austin, Texas.
