Returning for a fifth exciting year,\u00a0Other Worlds Austin<\/a>, one of the premier SciFi Film Festivals in the US, features some of the best and unheralded genre films. Beginning on Thursday December 6 at\u00a0Flix Brewhouse<\/a>, the four day event includes 20 full length films, a slew of shorts, and a screenwriting workshop. Not terribly surprising to anyone who regularly follows my writings, I\u2019ll be at there.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what to expect at Other Worlds Austin 2018.<\/p>\n
