Nick Keppler's preview for the annual "Slant" film festival ["It's a Family Affair," Night & Day, May 17] incorrectly reported that a filmmaker whose work was shown in a previous year went on to direct an Old Navy commercial. In fact, an actor in a film from a previous year later appeared in an Old Navy commercial.

The Houston Press regrets the errors.
