Slacker

In this groundbreaking indie film, we follow a day in the life of Austin's eclectic misfits and outcasts. From a passionate taxi passenger to a JFK conspiracy theorist, a UFO buff, and a Madonna pap smear saleswoman, we are taken on a journey through the city's vibrant underbelly. As we move seamlessly from one character to another, we see how these individuals, who don't quite fit into society's norms, navigate their lives and interact with each other in unexpected ways. With themes of social exclusion and political marginalization weaving through their conversations, Slacker paints a unique and compelling portrait of rebellion and disillusionment in 1990s Austin.
