Another week...another Film Festival. (sigh) woo-hoo!

Tomorrow is the inaugural day in this year's South by Southwest Film Festival! It runs from March 7-15. While most people know South by Southwest as one of the hottest music events of the year, the accompanying film festival has been gaining increasing amounts of attention and attraction year after year. The great thing about South by Southwest is that it not only showcases hundreds of the year's best independent films, it also offers workshops and panels for aspiring filmmakers by some of the industry's pros.

Here's just a taste of what goes on at the festival:

"The South by Southwest Film Conference and Festival is essentially two events in one. By day, it is an industry-oriented film conference with panels, workshops, mentor sessions and a Trade Show. It has been described as a five day crash course on guerilla filmmaking and marketing. Day and night the SXSW Film Festival screens about 150 - 200 of the best independent films produced during the previous year as well as works from established directors who have inspired the latest generation of filmmakers. Aspiring novices and seasoned professionals alike can immerse themselves in film and the business of film by registering for SXSW."
