Films Premiering in Texas?

Sony Pictures Classics is premiering their new film, Baghead, in Austin instead of New York and LA, and this may be a larger trend. The New York Times article about the trend here.

The paragraph that makes me feel good about Dallas: "The movie will show first in Austin, Tex., where its writer-directors, the brothers Mark and Jay Duplass, got their filmmaking careers in gear. Then “Baghead” will probably move on to Dallas, Houston or, maybe, Portland, Ore. — cities that, in the words of Tom Bernard, the co-president of Sony Pictures Classics, “tend to connect with what’s new and different".
