I went to the SXSW world premiere of The Cassidy Kids, from Burnt Orange Productions, Texas's own home-grown production company, with a unique partnership with the University of Texas Film Institute.

The film was very good, with particularly strong performances from Austin talent Gabe Folse and Brent Smiga.

It's a really cool feeling to watch a film and its credits, and know so many people behind and in front of the camera. Very cool.

Even better was hanging out afterwards with acting buddy Aaron Hallaway, and biz-types Chris and Julie; those are good folk.

Today was much better than yesterday's South-by outing ...
