day one - recap

day one was pretty hectic at sxsw, as my friends and i still found ourselves trying to settle into austin.

yesterday, i blogged a picture from a filmmaker’s luncheon that sxsw put on at robert rodriguez’s austin film studio.  there were some great opening speeches by the heads of the festival and a few notable filmmakers shared some words.  it was a great way to start of this year’s fest.

my favorite movie that i caught yesterday was THE RED CHAPEL (http://www.theredchapel.com).   it really got into my head. i have a feeling it will be my favorite film of the fest. 

we still have one more day before we show the taqwacores. although we have already premiered, im starting to have those pre-screening jitters again.  sxsw has a very unique audience, and im a bit nervous of how they will receive the film. 

hopefully the jitters won’t get in the way of enjoying another day of great films. 

going to head back into the madness now. 

till next.
