We've received an e-mail headed "Franch Film in Texas," which is, really, the way you want to spell "French" if you're aiming for a charming accent.
It contains zees message:
Hello,
First of all, please excuse my writting, i'm french and part of a television production compagny based in Paris.
We are working on a discovery film about Texas and will come around Houston in August for the shooting Through our journey we would like to meet as many caracteristic texan as possible hoping we will be able to show throughout our film how Texas is really like
We would be pleased to send you a full description of our project and would really appriciate if you could help us in our quest
Hoping to hearing from you very soon
Just who is a caracteristic Texan in Houston these days?
Some ExxonMobil exec getting a lap dance at The Men's Club, tossing around twenties like they're used Post-It notes?
An illegal immigrant working a 14-hour shift at some dim factory?
Michael DeBakey? (Zut alors, it ees too late, quel dommage.)
Anyway, we're open for suggestions to pass on.

Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
