Gotta make this fast or I won't get a meal before this evening's Knocked Up screening.

Elizabeth Avellan's the definition of class.

The winner of this year's first annual Ann Richards award at the Texas Film Hall of Fame described making a movie as "going to summer camp and war at the same time" and suggested that as a filmmaker, "if you can move me [a mother, a woman, a venezolana], you can move a lot of people". I asked what recent films have really moved or influenced her, and after considering for a moment, responded The Queen: "the media portrayals of this woman and what she went through are two different stories that are extraordinary on their own, and the strength of this woman, that's not what you see a lot of the time in Hollywood movies."

She's attached as a producer on a documentary about legendary photographer Herman Leonard called Truth in Terms of Beauty, which screens tomorrow or Wednesday afternoon.
