The folks from "
Apart from That," screening at
SXSW had a small but enthusiastic Q&A after an afternoon screening of their film in Austin. One enthusiastic audience member said, "this is the best film I've seen here." The film is described as about a Native American road striper, a student beautician, a Vietnamese banker, his adopted American son and an elderly exhibitionist who attempt to find their footing in a world of 'miscommunication, denial and unmet expectations."
