Asian Film Festival of Dallas 2023 does the red carpet thing in front of a cool-ass mural

This year’s Asian Film Festival of Dallas put a spin on the traditional red carpet entrances by staging them in front of a specially created mural as opposed to a step and repeat with festival and sponsor logos.

It made for a dynamic presentation for the attending filmmakers, including those from THE ACCIDENTAL GETAWAY DRIVER and WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE.
