Local Spotlight

Film Soup - We're thrilled to share that filmmaker collective WATCHALE won the Narrative Shorts Grand Jury Prize at this year's Slamdance Film Festival in Park City for their film, The Sidewalk Artist. As a proud supporter of their work, we're excited to promote their upcoming screening event, Film Soup. Film Soup is a community event that will take place on April 22 and will feature a screening of local films, live music, vendors, and the North Texas premiere of The Sidewalk Artist. Hosted by Tejano filmmakers, this event is a celebration of the diverse and vibrant DFW art scene. We're proud to be a part of it, and we hope you'll join us for this exciting evening.
Hayley Morrissey - Hayley Morrissey, a music producer based in Dallas, with a focus on melodies and a deep appreciation for folk music, has just released her latest album, "Call Me When You Wake Up." The album follows her previous records, "Strangers" and "This Is Where It Ends," and is now available for streaming on Spotify. "My songs often combine vulnerable subject matter with soaring cinematic melodies, emphasizing one of my favorite truths in life: all of our experiences are beautiful because they lead us to where we're meant to be," said Hayley.
