Synopsis

‘Tough Love’ is ostensibly about boxing. Really, though, it’s about boys and men looking for love and affection through time-honored rituals. Instead of teaching violence and aggression, the sport shows young men nurturing and tenderness, as each generation passes along its knowledge and appreciation of the sport to the next.

Thomas Hackett has been a journalist for some twenty years, writing for The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, Rolling Stone, Sports Illustrated, as well as working as a newspaper reporter. He is the author of “Slaphappy” (Ecco/HarperCollins, 2006), and is completing a Ph.D. in American Studies at the University of Texas.

“Honorarium” tells the story of the brief but ominously eventful interaction between Philip Holbrook (played by Nelson), a controversial public speaker arriving from out of town, and his possibly sympathetic driver/minder, Anne Bowers (Ringo Deathstarr bassist Alex Gehring). It’s an intense 12-plus minutes that ultimately has the slightly off-kilter tone and feel of some of the best of Rod Serling’s original Twilight Zoneepisodes, excising the supernatural in favor of subtle social commentary.

Made by the Arts + Labor team over a single weekend as a part of the 48 Hour Film Project, The GrownUps catches up with two couples as they try to return to normal after a dinner that apparently didn't go very well. Like other projects submitted in Austin, the team was challenged to use a banana as a prop, feature a blogger named Paul or Pearl, and include the line, "I never thought about it that way."
