NIGHT FLIGHT

Posted on January 20, 2020 by Don Swaynos

I’m excited to announce that three of my short films are joining the insane (and incredible) line-up on Night Flight. The streaming platform incarnation of the classic late night cable show has launched a short film showcase and the initial slate includes Don’t Ever Change, The Horrible Life of Dr. Ghoul, and The Outfit (which I co-wrote with Yen Tan, who directed it). All three are currently streaming for Night Flight Plus subscribers. You can read more about Night Flight and the short film showcase in The Austin Chronicle.
