What's the old saying about how from tiny acorns, mighty oaks do grow? Some of our favorite Fantastic Fest veterans cut their teeth on short films (like Hatchet creator Adam Green's The TIVO), and this year there's a conjoined pair of programs stuffed with bite-size oddities.

If you still have a hard time believing it's autumn, or what passes for it here, this is your reality check: It's time once again to honor our local talent pool in AIA Austin Homes Tour.
