I am a film grad from UNT. Coming from there I had some interaction with the wonderful Texas Filmmakers' association who holds the ThinLine International Film Fest every year in Denton. This fest is a great opportunity for brand new filmmakers to show what they got and to bring in some great but rare work from people all over! The films are excellent.
For the past couple of years, I have been a volunteer photographer for their event :). It is such a great opportunity to meet fellow filmmakers, see some good films, and just get some fun shots!
