As a small-time pot salesman, Nate is following in the foot steps of his father, a legendary drug lord who is nearing his inevitable demise. Dealing with a plethora of problems, including a little brother who won't stay still, a girlfriend he's loved since he was a child, and the memory of the tragic death of his mother, Nate is desperately looking for a way to escape. Opportunity presents itself in the form of a big time drug deal that could set him free--or leave him trapped in a life he doesn't want to live.
I've got a soft spot for movies shot in Austin and Dance With the One is the first movie made by the University of Texas Film Institute, a nonprofit arm of the college of communications that aims to give students the opportunity to be a part of a project with the aim of creating a feature film. Most of the people who helped on the 22-day shoot were UT students, and the script is co-written by a Michener Center for Writing grad who was in school when he wrote it.
You could say director Mike Dolan is like the Colt McCoy of UT filmmaking.
The world premiere is March 15 at 7:30 at the Alamo Ritz. The film can also be seen March 16 at 2:30 at Alamo South Lamar and again March 20 at 2:30 p.m. at The Paramount.
