Welcome all SXSW faithful fans, devoted film buffs, and those just SXSW- curious. This is where it all begins; the big cinematic enchilada. Soon we will be standing in lines, chatting it up, eating Drafthouse food and drinking beers at the Paramount, attending panels and parties (well, probably not badge-less me, but still).... all in anticipation and celebration of sampling the fantastic variety of unique independent films we are privy to during this week when Austin offers itself up as a cultural carnival.
Not being the most tech-savvy person, I will be learning to post blogs and twitter daily to keep you all updated throughout the week as to my film selections, reviews, and recommendations, as well as keeping you updated on any hotspots, bizarre events, or mundane gossip I stumble across.
I will eat, drink, breath, and well, watch my way through this cinematic marathon, and I hope you will join me.
That being said, these are my top 10 selections for the SXSW film festival:
