BUCK ALAMO OR (A PHANTASMAGORICAL BALLAD)
Join us with filmmaker and Dallas native Benjamin Epstein as he brings his award winning debut feature “BUCK ALAMO” to the Texas Theatre for one night only before its release.
The movie stars Sonny Carl Davis as Buck (“Bernie” “Last Night the Alamo”), Lorelei Linklater (“Boyhood” “Bomb City”), Lee Eddy (“Apollo 10 1/2” “Mo”), and Bruce Dern as Death (“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” “Nebraska”).
Buck is a dying, pain-killer-addicted relic from Austin, Texas’ “Cosmic Cowboy” music scene… and he is on his literal last leg. Told through his colorfully fragmented and musical point of view, his swan song unfolds as a visual ballad, capturing the humor and melancholy of a bad man’s final days. With his faithful dog Chester at his side, he gets one last goodbye to the friends and family who all wish they could have forgotten him already.
Extended Q&A with the filmmaker immediately after. Atlas the dog (Chester) will also be around providing free pets.
