I'm Mason McCabe, an Austin-based filmmaker making movies I want to watch. I work as a writer, director, editor, and feature editor on shoots around Austin, collaborating with 15+ cast and crew on projects like Nightjar and other shorts. I love bold storytelling and the collaborative process that comes with a tight-knit crew. Since Bergman and Fellini are no longer with us, I have a lot of work to do—pushing myself to experiment, tell intimate stories on micro-sets, and bring fresh visions to life in the Austin scene.…I'm Mason McCabe, an Austin-based filmmaker making movies I want to watch.
