Another SXSW in the Books

SXSW

 

Another South by Southwest Film Festival has come and gone and we certainly tried our best to make the most of it! We got a lot done over the course of 9 days, including:

  • Met with representatives from nearly twenty different film commissions from all over the world.
  • Met with representatives from six different countries.
  • Attended over thirty screenings.
  • Attended more panels than we could count.
  • Helped to host the TXAFC Film & TV Industry Happy Hour, as well as hosted our own "Make it in Texas" filmmaker meetup (both sold out and were wildly successful, we don't mind adding).
  • Met so many incredibly talented and interesting individuals both in and outside of our industries that we all need to restock our business cards!

To answer your question: yes, we're still tired. Despite that, we're excited to be back on our normal schedules and back to the work of helping to support Texas' moving image industries!
