I love Zac Efron. I’m not sure why, but whenever I hear his name or his voice my 13 year old self rejoices! Seriously, I should write an academic paper on High School Music (1-3).
I am really distraught about the fact he will be in Austin alongside Richard Linklater for the Austin premiere of ME AND ORSON WELLES. My friend Loretta saw it in March during SXSW and sung it’s praises and she’s a hard woman to please! I’m going to be in NYC for Thanksgiving and looked at tickets home for the 29th and it was $400 bucks for a one-way ticket so there goes my friggin’ dream!! If anyone can go to this or is going to this please post lots of photos and comment so I can stalk you and we can become friends. I need someone else to share my love of Zefron with! My other pals are Twilight diehards (as in, camping in LA for 3 days to get into the fan section). Me & Zefron!? *sad face*

With director Richard Linklater and actors Zac Efron and Christian McKay in attendance for post-show Q&A.
Based in real theatrical history, Me and Orson Welles is a romantic coming-of-age story about a teenage actor (Zac Efron) who lucks into a role in Julius Caesar as it’s being re-imagined by a brilliant, impetuous young director named Orson Welles at his newly-founded Mercury Theatre in 1937 New York City. The rollercoaster week leading up to opening night is riddled with rehearsal mishaps, a love triangle with Welles’ career-minded production assistant (Claire Danes), and the charismatic but sometimes cruel Welles (impressively portrayed by newcomer Christian McKay) staking his career on this risky production.
This screening is a benefit for Austin Film Society’s Texas Filmmakers’ Production Fund, which was started in 1996 by Richard Linklater to assist emerging Texas filmmakers. www.austinfilm.org
