    The future lies just outside our front door at the inaugural Other Worlds Austin, Austin’s first festival dedicated to science fiction filmmaking. Less than six months after its founding, Other Worlds Austin proudly announces its line-up for the December 4-6th festival, including the World Premiere of thriller APT 3D, and the US Premiere of The Reconstruction of William Zero starring Amy Seimetz. In total, the festival will include seven features, three programs of shorts, and a world premiere mini-feature, The Sun Devil and The Princess, a samurai story set in an alternate reality of myth and magic by Student-Academy-Award Winner Steven Ayromlooi.

    “Our programming team was overwhelmed with the quality of the submissions we received, especially for a first-year festival,” says Founder and Director of Programming Bears Fonté. The Reconstruction of William Zero, which premiered at Montreal’s Fantasia Fest in July, follows a genetic engineer who, after the tragic loss of his son, decides to clone himself to create a better version of himself, one without the guilt and pain.

    The film, directed by Dan Bush, was written by Bush and Conal Byrne, who stars in the film with Amy Seimetz and Melissa McBride from The Walking Dead. This beautiful and sometimes heart-wrenching SciFi drama will be OWA’s Closing Night Film.

    Making its World Premiere at Other Worlds Austin, APT 3D tracks the paranoia of a young couple that move into an apartment only to be assaulted by an array of strange noises and suspicious activity. Written and Directed by Zack Imbrogno, the film features Imbrogno, Maxxe Sternbaum, and Jordan Lewis, who produced SXSW triumph THE HEART MACHINE. Actress/producer Sternbaum is from Harris County, TX. Also making its US Premiere at the festival is Aura, a teen thriller from Hungary about a group of misfits who wake up in a car in an empty field, surrounded by a mysterious bubble that reacts to their touch. Director Zsolt Bernáth follows up his teen mystery In the Name of Sherlock Holmes with another head-scratcher that finds our hope rests in the hearts of the young.

    For something a little different, Other Worlds Austin will also deliver the world premiere of a new cut of BACKYARD BLOCKBUSTERS, a documentary about fan films like Batman: Dead End, Ryan Vs. Dorkman, The Hunt for Gollum, and the ‘Cops’-style Stormtrooper film, Troops. One of the films discussed, Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation, is a shot for shot remake of the 1981 film done a group of 12 year olds over seven summers. The film was rediscovered by when Eli Roth gave a copy to Harry Knowles (interviewed in the film) to play at Butt-Numb-a-Thon. Finally, Fantasia-fest hit BLOODY KNUCKLES offers OWA audiences a splatter-com, the Texas Premiere of an irreverent tale of a zombie hand, the comic book artist it was cut from, and an avenging S&M homosexual superhero. “We’ve tried to put together a line-up that touches on everything SciFi can be,” says Fonté, “our films are thought provoking, tension-filled, rebel rousing, and stupidly hilarious, sometimes all at the same time.”

    The shorts programs will feature 25+ films covering all varieties of SciFi: thrillers, action, horror, and animation. Included in the shorts are two films by Austin filmmakers, Blackout by Andrew Olson, and One Last Question by Sean Corbin. “A few of these shorts I had to turn down last year at AFF so I was excited to give them another chance,” says Fonté. These films join the previously announced Opening Night Film, The Well, and Centerpiece Film, Time Lapse. Screenings will take place December 4-6th at the Galaxy Highland. Wristbands are only $45 and give the wristband holder a guaranteed seat to all 11 screenings, as well as access to 2014: A Bruch Odyssey at the Goodnight, presented by Cox Smith, an exclusive festival party Saturday morning. “This is everything I thought our festival could be,” says Fonté. “I’m excited to share these films with Austin, the so-called geek capital of the world.”
