Two of my film blogging colleagues, Jette Kernion and Michael Tully, have posted requests for filmmakers showing work at SXSW to contact them about possible coverage. I’ll jump on that bandwagon: filmmakers can contact Karina directly at karina [at] spout [dot] com; you can also leave links to official websites, YouTube/MySpace pages, etc, in the comments to this post.
Right now I’m especially excited about video that I can post on the blog before the fest (trailers, clips, whatever––anything that’s embeddable), and of course, sending a screener before the fest is like buying insurance that your film won’t be overlooked during the festival crush. But even if you’ve got none of the above, if you’re reading this and have a film at SXSW, don’t hesitate to be in touch.

Hey Karina,
What days are you going to be there?
I believe we’ll be there for the film festival only, Thursday night-Wednesday.
[...] of me (and it is!), I’m going to borrow a page from Michael Tully’s book (and Karina Longworth’s and Jette Kernion’s) and write an entry to any filmmakers and publicists out there [...]
Hey Karina,
we’ll have a trailer for A NECESSARY DEATH in a couple of days. I’ll send you the link asap. We are in desperate need of word of mouth - thanks for doing this!

Wow, this is excellent. We’re tweaking our site before the fest, but go to http://www.rainbowaroundthesun.com an you can download a press kit pdf file.
This is such a great concerted effort from you folks and especially helps newbie directors like myself who are trying to do it all themselves.
One my website at http://www.brandonlinden.com, I have scenes from my film, Bootleg Wisconsin, a downloadable rough draft of the screenplay and call sheets, techy info on how I made the film, even downloadable discussions from the film class I teach in Chicago.
I would also love to send you a screener!
Thanks again for the blog,
yeah! My film is Nerdcore Rising (www.nerdcorerising.com) and I would love to provide whatever you might need. There’s a trailer on our site but also a bunch more useful/useless stuff as well.
this is great!
Hi Karina,
Met you at the Sarasota condo at Sundance. I’ll be at SXSW with director Alex Karpovsky and the film WOODPECKER as it has its World Premiere. We’ll have our trailer up on the website in a few days, but for now we have a press kit on the website, http://www.woodpeckerfilm.com, chock full of information. I’ll be sure to get updates to you as we have them.
Thanks for doing this.
Hi Karina,
We’re pretty psyched for SXSW! Our film, The New Year Parade, was fortunate enough to win the grand jury prize at Slamdance last month, which was a thrill. There are reviews, a press kit, and trailer at:

I hope to catch you in Austin!
Later,
Tom
