We Can't Help....

But notice this tease

NoBudge.com is a online platform to showcase independent film making with new films each month.  NoBudge comes from no budget which many of the films made were made out on no or a very very limited budget.  This is filmmaking made for the love of film not for making big box offices.

And it's there that's the online premiere "We Can't Help You" July 29th on Nobudge.com.

 "After making a careless mistake a young vagrant is guided by his boozing and charismatic mentor to carry out a vicious act. Inspired by the American folk story, We Can't Help You is set against the foothills and back roads of the American South, where each character is burdened by their psychic landscape and the obligations of survival."

The film directed by Brad Land, was shot in February of 2010, down in Wilmington while Austin was playing Julian on OTH.  For "We Can't Help You" Austin is playing the big boss man.  Suit up!

 Yup we've seen that yellow corduroy before.

 Mark your calendar and check it out!

Girlfriend's a Boyfriend

Back in the beginning of Austin's stint on OTH, he joined friend Hilarie on her project from Southern Gothic the short The True-Love Tale of Boyfriend & Girlfriend.

Austin well he was name Girlfriend....  and grrrrl..... he is one great Girlfriend

Sweet,  quirky and out of the box, it fit Austin perfectly

 While his newest role of Tommy isn't that, it does have that twist to it that Austin sees to gravitate towards.

And thank goodness for that.

Dark and Charming

Now down to a dozen episodes left Austin gives a little insight on what this season of The Crazy Tree will be like

The interview was done when Austin was directing episode 7 and talks about what is up with Julian and that this is his favorite season.

But when asked what his plans are for after the Crazy Tree is done check out how he responds.

Tonight on the Crazy Tree (Besides Julian's Coffee Cake Love)"In the Room Where You Sleep" Get the tissues because there's daddy issues. BrookeDavis(TM) discusses launching Baker Man with her dad. Julian's stressing about his soundstage that's not making a sound, since no one is crazy enough to think Tree Hill is Hollywood East. BikiniQuinn convinces Feats of Clay to get help for his Ambien-like zombie walks, while Millie struggles to be honest with Mouth about being a Big Fat Mouth. Meanwhile, "I refer to myself in the third person" Chris Keller makes Alex an offer she can't refuse and Nathan volunteers (aka gets a clue and gets out of this mess) to scout in Europe, leaving the Ultimate Bad Dad Dan with the Real Housewife of Tree Hill Haley and the kids.
And for the Charming ?
Remember Austin's project with Hilarie and Nick at Southern Gothic, True Love Tail of Boyfriend and Girlfriend? Well there are some unofficial trailers for the charming and quirky short.

Gimme me some sugah

Long ago there were friends who wanted to write act and make movies and they found a long tall Texan to come play with their little troupe acalled Southern Gothic Productions. And like Judy and Mickey they went out to barn, ok in this case Wilmington NC and put on a show. And what a show indeed.

"The True-Love Tale of Boyfriend & Girlfriend" is now out for people to enjoy. You can download the big romance in a little space for $ 2.99 at filmbaby

Mama always said there was a lid for every pot. Sometimes you wonder if you're a frying pan.
Boyfriend and Girlfriend could kind of be frying pans. But they found their lid too.

It is a little piece of southern country fried love wrapped in some backwater funkiness. Love the way they defied convention, in it's story and it's approach, while keeping it sweet as big glass of ice tea.

Sometimes you don't have to say a word for people to know you're in love.

Austin is great playing Girlfriend, a boy from the pumpkins with not alot learning but a lot lovin' and can see how the unconventional but sweet love story grabbed him from the get go.

Kudos to Hilarie on costuming, cause that's a whole lot of Texas to get into those coveralls. Hmmm mmmm, youknowwatta I mean. (Mr. G, put down coveralls on things you need to pick up for presents)

If you want to hear a little more about making The True Love Tale, head over to Spooky's Austin Nichols Journal to catch two little clips of Austin talking about it. And check out more screencaps too.

For a little New York State of Mind.

Happy Hanukkah.

Happy Austin Friday.
