SXSW. And this time, I actually planned out my schedule so that I can
follow it, without overlapping 12 things at once, like last year. Solid
plan. Besides that, I am most looking forward to Jake Gyllenhaal being there.
Shameless and wanton. (Jake, if you are reading this - meet me at the
Lustre Pearl.) He is followed up closely by the animated shorts (which were
the highlight of last year for me), a panel on the DSLR for footage (which
I'm personally obsessed with currently) and the film How To Die in Oregon
(about doctor assisted suicide.) Last year, I completely missed the one
film that made all the buzz after SXSW- Lena Dunham's Tiny Furniture- and
was taunted all year long with mentions of it in every mag/blog/industry
thing I read. But this year, they are screening it again, which I am
thankful for. Of course, I'll probably miss this years audience hit while
watching it, but hey. I've surrendered to not having the personal taste to
coincide with the general film public.

With the exception of Jake Gyllenhaal.
