Hill Country Film Festival | 1 | www.hillcountryff.com
Welcome to the 2011
Hill Country Film Festival
At the heart of great films are well-crafted stories. Behind each
of those stories are a collection of filmmakers, who have equally
compelling tales about the art of making movies. At the Hill Country
Film Festival (HCFF), stories are paramount. Whether it’s the
flickering image projected on the big screen or a candid reveal from
a director about his or her creative process, stories fascinate us.
As we enter our second year, HCFF is happy to once again
bring the stories of indie filmmakers to the greatest town in
Texas — Fredericksburg.
Special Thanks

Thanks to Gary Weeks and our team of programmers in California
who watched close to 100 hours of film. Thanks to Amy Miskovsky

leadership continually guides HCFF and the Hill Country Film

Thanks also to Gene Oliver and the Stagecoach Theater, our
volunteers, our filmmakers, the City of Fredericksburg and you for

world of storytelling that brings us all together.

Edited by Sundance award-winning director David Lowery (St. Nick, Pioneer), photographed
by Sundance and SXSW alum Clay Liford (WUSS) and produced by acclaimed producer Adam
Donaghey (Lovers of Hate, Audrey the Trainwreck, WUSS, Earthling) this beautiful and disturbing
film brings fate and error into the desolate bayous of East Texas in Caddo Lake. Two drifters happen
upon a bed and breakfast owned by an elderly blind couple and their son, resulting in a weekend of
chaos and bad fortune. In the end, “the only thing that matters is family.”

The Drummond Will | UK | Comedy | 81 minutes | Texas Premiere | Directed by Alan Butterworth
A deeply affectionate modern retelling of the classic comedies and murder mysteries from the Ealing
era of British cinema, The Drummond Will imagines what it would be like to be stuck in a world
where the strange rules of Ealing cinema apply. A world where life continues as normal in the face of
escalating body counts, where sleepy English villages invariably harbor any number of dark secrets,
and where you only really know who the murderer is when everyone else has been killed. The
thoroughly modern Danny and Marcus are trapped in just such a world, and are quickly swept out
of their depth. They realize they’ll need to rely on each other for survival. Forensics, cell phones and
common sense won’t help them. It quickly becomes clear that nothing is what it seems.

accident. Jake, the family patriarch, loses his wife and children in the accident. Not being a dogperson, Jake is angry and resentful toward the dog for even surviving. However, Jake eventually

a tragic loss. Just as Jake gets back on his feet, he experiences a setback in the form of a missing
dog poster. Dr. Mason, the vet who helps Jake bond with Cooper, suggests that he throw away the
poster, but Jake feels compelled to do the right thing and return Cooper, thereby giving up the only
family member he has left.

out on an all-night cleaning job at a mansion far from the city. For company he has Henry, the rich,
condescending homeowner who seems to take sadistic pleasure in letting Cole think he has just

At 19,340 feet, Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa is the tallest free-standing mountain in the world
and a daunting climb. Born with cerebral palsy, Bonner Paddock disregards conventional limits in
hopes to defy his condition and inspire others. Despite a weak lower body, spastic leg muscles, lack
of balance and climbing experience, Bonner is committed to the ascent. With only a few months of
training, Bonner learns there is no preparation for what the mountain holds. More than eight days,
64 miles, shear cliffs, sub-zero temperatures, and ever-thinning oxygen, Bonner is forced to confront
what most would consider catastrophic. To reach the summit of Kilimanjaro and silence his critics,
Bonner will go beyond limits. Academy Award Nominee and 2010 HCFF best actor winner, Michael
Clarke Duncan boldly narrates this true story. Bonner hopes to help children living with disabilities
overcome their own obstacles. All the money raised from Bonner’s climb goes toward the first Early
Learning Center to serve children with and without disabilities in Orange County, California.
HCFF Notes: Bonner Paddock will be in attendance for a Q&A following the screening.

This is definitely not your ordinary ice cream and bakery shop. Clear River,
located at 138 E. Main St. in Fredericksburg, does things just a little differently,
and you’ll be so glad they do.
In the morning, you’ll love stopping by to pick up a delicious hot-from-the-oven
baked goody and a cup of coffee from its extensive coffee bar. For lunch, you
can return for some homemade soups, sandwiches (made with fresh baked
bread) and maybe a little something sweet for dessert, like a lemon square,
pecan pie bar, cheesecake slice or brownie. Then in the afternoon, you can
return once again for homemade ice cream — more than 75 flavors, with 30
available each day. And don’t be surprised if Elvis or another fun character
serves you. Yes, Clear River does things differently, but sometimes different
is good!
Be sure to check out some of Clear River’s specialties, including: Award
winning Mexican Vanilla and Amaretto, Peach & Pecan ice cream, Praline
Dipped Pecans, Smoky Pecan BBQ Sauce, hand decorated Sugar Cookies
and Pecan Pepper Jelly.
