Premiere of ‘The Retelling’

Though Austin’s Emily Hagins will probably always be known for the young age at which she began making movies, I think it’s safe to say that she’s well on her way to making that fact a mere footnote to her career, rather than its legacy.

Thanks to the filmmakers behind Zombie Girl: The Movie (the documentary about the making of Emily’s first film, Pathogen) for posting this clip from the premiere of her sophomore feature, The Retelling. What we see here is a more confident artist, not just with her own filmmaking abilities, but also with her own handling of the understandable interest her efforts kindle.
