Description

Buck Alamopresented by the Lone Star Film SocietySynopsisJoin us with filmmaker Benjamin Epstein as he brings his award winning feature "BUCK ALAMO" to Fort Worth for one night only before its release. . The movie stars Sonny Carl Davis as Buck (“Bernie” "Last Night the Alamo") in his first lead role since the Eagle Pennell films which helped launch the Texas film industry and inspired Robert Redford to start Sundance. It also includes a terrific ensemble featuring 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.
