The 58th International Film Festival

A very special year for the Houston International Film Festival as we honored our founder John “Hunter” Todd. With a special design by the artist Fernando Osuna Jr. gave a new inspiration and exposure to the festival by winning awards and being recognized by international design magazines. And even Hunter got his own character in this magical graphical world.
