Austin films win big at Sarasota
A pair of Austin-made documentaries by University of Texas alums scored last weekend at the Sarasota Film Festival in Florida.
Ben Steinbauer’s “Winnebago Man” won best documentary feature and Michel O. Scott’s “Over the Hills and Far Away” won the audience award for best narrative documentary.
Steinbauer receives a United States distribution deal with First Run Features and a screening at the IFC Center‘s Stranger Than Fiction series. Both films earned raves during South by Southwest Film Festival last month.
