Last Wednesday, July 15th, stuntman legend/filmmaker Gary Kent celebrated the release of his long awaited autobiography Shadows & Light: Journeys with Outlaws in Revolutionary Hollywood. Accompanied by a sizable crowd that included such iconic figures of indie film as Bob Ivy, Bud Cardos and Austin's own Lars Nielsen, Kent took the stage at Book People to read a few excerpts from his critically acclaimed book. Cinematographer Anne Heller was there to document the event and has posted on of several video segments from that night on YouTube.

Gary Kent's next reading will be at the Barnes & Noble bookstore in Denton, Texas on Saturday, July 25th at 4pm. The following evening, on Sunday, July 26th at Dan's Silverleaf Kent will host a screening of the film Bubba Ho-Tep for which he was the stunt coordinator. Doors will open at 8pm followed by a Q&A session with Kent and the film beginning at 10pm. Admission is free.
