SXSW Presents THE HAPPY POET Monday at the Ritz




SXSW Presents: THE HAPPY POET - Monday 8/30 @Ritz
Advance tickets available here

Co-star and co-producer Jonny Mars and cast members Ricardo Lerma and Amy Myers-Martin live in person!

"If SLACKER defined the shaggy eccentricities of Austin life circa the early '90s, then Gordon's similarly low-key comedy is a delightful, deadpan reappraisal of the town's prototypical charm some two decades later."
Greencine Daily

"Austinite Paul Gordon has served up my favorite of SXSW in this comedy about an organic food stand that feels, well, organic."
Flicksided.com

A favorite at SXSW, where the film played to three sold-out shows, THE HAPPY POET is an Austin film that perfectly captures the particular blend of earthy-crunchy and small business that makes this fine city so special. Bill, an out-of-work poet, puts his heart, soul, and last few dollars into starting an all-organic mostly-vegetarian food stand, but complications with the business jeopardize his dreams for a hot dog-free future.
