Actor-director SEAN ASTIN has been confirmed as Guest of Honor for this year’s 10th Anniversary Texas Film Festival, which is currently taking place this week at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas.

In addition, Sean will discuss highlights of his career (accompanied by a retrospective of clips), and participate in a Q&A.
Tickets are only $6, and are on sale now at the Rudder Theater Box Office (11am-8pm) in person or by phone — 979-845-1234 or toll-free at 888-890-5667.
