I started Thin Line Film Fest five years ago in Denton because documentary film gives a unique perspective to often overlooked subjects. Documentaries can make the viewer see things or think about things in a completely new way, said Joshua Butler, founder of Thin Line Film Fest. Denton is the perfect setting for this type of festival because it shares the same independent and creative spirit. Im excited how this years festival is coming together and cant wait to kick things off February 10th.
Last year, The New York Times dubbed Thin Line Film Fest as one of the things to do that week which featured the Texas premiere of Troubadours, fresh from Sundance Film Festival, as well as This Way of Life and Enemies of the People; both off the 2010 Oscar shortlist for Best Documentary. The 2012 festival promises to be bigger, better and more revered already having received nearly twice the number of films submitted to be considered than in the previous year.
