Local filmmaker Tom Huckabee is a Renaissance man, which is a fancy way of saying he can do a bunch of different stuff.
He’s been buddies with actor Bill Paxton ever since they met while growing up in Fort Worth, he’s worked on Hollywood films in various capacities for more than 20 years, and he’s still riding high on Carried Away, his directorial debut which just happened to win the Best Narrative Feature award at the Glen Rose Neo-Relix Film Festival last weekend.
He’s also former drummer of the Huns, one of Austin’s early punk bands (above the band’s lead singer is arrested on stage in 1978 at Raul’s).
Photography and art are his other passions, and a collection of his work (along with the fascinating street images of photographer Richard Cohen) will be on exhibit beginning Sept. 11 at Fort Worth Community Arts Center, 1300 Gendy St.
