Austin, Texas-based directors David Lowery (St. Nick), Bryan Poyser (Lovers of Hate), and Alex Karpovsky (Trust Us, This is All Made Up) have all made their own personal and distinct feature films, but they've been able to draw upon each other's multi-faceted talents to get their own films completed. Lowery, Poyser, and Karpovsky will join us to discuss how a generational filmmaking style that began as Mumblecore has evolved into an almost communal approach to the art form.
