Downtown Cartel, as a whole, believes that culture is a very important part in our local communities and that is why we have chosen to sponsor the 2008 Red Wasp Film Festival. The Red Wasp Film Festival attracts many film industry professionals early in their careers. Through the years we have enjoyed the festival and this year we felt that stepping up and sponsoring was the right thing to do.
We live in a small city where finding culture isn’t as easy as it may be in places like Los Angeles or Chicago. When we started our company we knew that we couldn’t sit around and wait for others to bring the culture to us. Sometimes you have to be the catalyst and actively cultivate it.
I think this attitude and understanding runs very deep in Downtown Cartel, as well as the other members of the Creative Space. I hate sounding cliche, but the words “Be the change you want to see in the world” seem to resonate in us.
The Sixth Annual Red Wasp Film Festival in downtown Bryan at StageCenter (201-B W 26th St.), October 24-25, 2008, from 7:30 until 11:30 pm. Tickets are available at the door: $15 for one night or $25 for both nights. There is also a special student rate of $10 for one night and $15 for both nights.
