Fiction or reality: Thin Line makes you think

By Amber Mullins

Thin Line Film Fest 2012Joshua Butler navigates the red carpet ropes of a local coffeehouse with a swagger, then plops himself down to discuss a “hobby” that’s become his passion: documentary film. Choosing the venue with a movie theater twist seems conscious, or maybe not. With Joshua, nothing is ever as it seems, which is the concept behind his startup – the Thin Line Film Fest.

Arts & Jazz: a brave combo

By J.K. Nickell

Brave ComboA baby mannequin swaddled in multicolored Mardi Gras beads peers out from behind the storefront window of Brave Combo’s office.

It’s their motivation to finish a practice race so they can get in a quick game of tug-of-rope with their owners.

Denton Airshow thrills with flights at 575mph and vintage planes

By Stacy Powers

Denton AirshowLooking down from the air traffic control tower, Brigadier General Tommy Williams sees a sea of people filling the grounds of Denton Airport. They’re looking down the runway, waiting for a first in Denton – the first U.S. Air Force F-16 Viper to take off from the airport. The general has the best seat in the house high up in the air-conditioned tower, but Tommy Williams knows there’s an even better seat. He wants to feel the F-16 engine rippling his skin as it zips across the sky at 575 miles per hour.
