2 exciting films from SXSW 2016
Tower • A Song For You


	Dear Programmers: It’s rare that any filmmaker have two films at the same major international festival. Its even rarer that it be two docs about wildly different subject matters directed and produced by the same person. Yet with his films TOWER and A SONG FOR YOU: THE AUSTIN CITY LIMITS STORY, filmmaker Keith Maitland and his team of producers accomplished just that at SXSW 2016. TOWER also went on to win three awards including the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award. The Film Collaborative is thrilled to offer these two films for Worldwide Festivals now. The response both domestically and abroad has been tremendous so far…so we know you are going to want to see these films. If you are ready to go ahead and book one or more of the films, please do so using our new Online Booking Tool. If you would like screener links, you may request them at festivals@thefilmcollaborative.org. All best, Jeffrey Winter Co-Exectutive Director, The Film Collaborative

Director Keith Maitland Producers Keith Maitland, Susan Thomson, Megan Gilbride Coordinating Producer Hillary Pierce Executive Producers Luke Wilson, Meredith Vieira, Steve Eckelman, Amy Rapp, Pamela Colloff Editor Keith Maitland		Tower ABOUT THE FILM: On August 1st, 1966, a sniper rode the elevator to the top floor of the University of Texas Tower and opened fire, holding the campus hostage for 96 minutes. When the gunshots were finally silenced, the toll included 16 dead, three dozen wounded, and a shaken nation left trying to understand. Combining archival footage with rotoscopic animation in a dynamic, never-before-seen way, TOWER reveals the action-packed untold stories of the witnesses, heroes and survivors of America’s first mass school shooting, when the worst in one man brought out the best in so many others.
