You might have dressed as a monster for Halloween, but you are only human after all. For those who’ve lost track of the fact that the Lone Star Film Festival started a few days ago, forgiveness is in order. We’re at only the midway point, and there is much left to see and do this week, including several blocks of short films and feature-length movies.
