Waking up this morning to new snow and more cold weather confirmed my readiness to head to the Lone Star State for SXSW. Besides dozens of films, musical acts and friends I’m looking to see, 80 degree weather is also a perk that tops on my list. Trying to see everything is going to be a challenge especially since it involves sitting in a theatre during the best weather I’ve seen in over six months. Thankfully there are several films that look extremely captivating. Below are a few trailers that I’m planning on catching and hoping to connect with the filmmakers. This first batch is from the Emerging Visions Program.
