      It started as a getaway weekend for great barbecue, and has become a pilgrimage. Going to the Austin conference is like stepping into a time machine and returning to that day, that moment in time when you fell in love with movies and the idea of making them. And living a whole week feeling that feeling.”
      Terry Rossio, writer Shrek, Aladdin, the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise
      Screenwriters all live in Los Angeles, but they only seem to meet in Austin.”
      Michael Green, writer The Green Lantern, Kings, Heroes, Smallville, upcoming Blade Runner reboot
      I was completely surprised by the scale of AFF. Apparently, everything is bigger in Texas, including the hospitality. If you’ve never been to Austin it’s a great time to go. One of the best film festivals you’ll ever experience.”
      Chris Carter, creator The X-Files, The Lone Gunmen
