If you go:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n What: <\/strong>\u201cDave is Indecisive\u201d at Lone Star Film Festival<\/p>\n When: <\/strong>2:15 p.m. Oct. 30; find complete festival schedule here<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n Where: <\/strong>Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, 3200 Darnell St.Admission:<\/strong> $10 per screening; $175 movie-only pass; $300 all-access pass<\/a><\/p>\n No money was spent on the film\u2019s production other than for the music at the end \u2014 where a gag is tucked into the end credits. Price and his small production crew borrowed camera equipment and shot the film in a kitchen for about six hours.<\/p>\n The inspiration for his film came from Price\u2019s own overthinking when sending text messages, he said.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I\u2019m messaging somebody, the amount of distrust I have with myself and second-guessing myself is pretty immense,\u201d Price said. \u201cYou can\u2019t help but narrate in your head, and my thought was, \u2018What if (the film\u2019s narrator) was just as unhelpful as my own personal narrator?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n High school memories of \u201cwar room\u201d sessions between Price and his friends crafting texts to send to girls inspired the Fort Worth resident to focus on dating apps in the short film.\u00a0<\/p>\n Price is one of five filmmakers based in Fort Worth to be featured in this year\u2019s festival. He has attended and applied to festivals before, but this is his first film to be accepted.\u00a0<\/p>\n Although the thought of screening his film at the Lone Star Film Festival is nerve-wracking, he finds comfort that it is being shown in a place he knows, he said.<\/p>\n Originally, he never intended to submit his film to the festival, he said, as it didn\u2019t receive much attention after it was uploaded to YouTube.\u00a0<\/p>\n But a friend, Michael Ryan, hounded Price for weeks to enter the festival.\u00a0<\/p>\n Price submitted his film close to the deadline after Ryan connected him with Chad Mathews, the festival\u2019s executive director.<\/p>\n \u201cNathan is a very creative guy, his short was really funny and he was satisfied with that,\u201d said Ryan, a part-owner of Fort Worth video marketing firm Four 3rds Creative<\/a>. \u201cNathan wasn\u2019t looking to get it out there into a lot of festivals, and I was like, \u2018You can\u2019t miss Fort Worth because you live here and this would be a great place to showcase what you\u2019re capable of.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Price acknowledged his short was different from others, and hopes his film stands out.<\/p>\n \u201cIf one person who\u2019s seen a bunch of shorts is like, \u2018Man, there\u2019s this really good short, and this really good short, but that Dave one was weird \u2014 that one was different,\u2019 I\u2019d be very happy with that,\u201d Price said.<\/p>\n John Forbes is a reporting fellow for the Fort Worth Report.
