SXSW have podcast a few of their panels from the recent fest. There are a few film-related ones like Video Production for the Web & Mobile Devices, Animation and Digital Effects on a Budget and Digital Cinema for Indies – but I urge you to listen to all of the interactive podcasts as well. It’s a really great way to get a sense of what is happening in the world of web and gaming technology and you never know what…
Shooting People is at SXSW. Follow our adventures on the Festival Focus blog. We’ll be Twittering too!
I’m at the airport and it’s just before 7am. I feel surprisingly awake, perhaps it’s the excitement of knowing that I’m about to go to one of my favorite cities to watch lots of great films. I’ll be blogging over on the Shooting People Festival Focus blog along with a few other folk for the duration of the fest and am going to try Twittering for the first time too.

I’ve been pretty horribly sick since Sundance and am only now starting to feel normal again. Sorry for being so crap. I’m pulling my socks up…
You have till Friday to watch the finalists and vote for your favourites. Check ‘em out here. And while we’re on the subject of short films I think everybody should go to Rooftop Films on IFC.com and watch Jennifer Matotek’s Cats and Pants (it’s the film from 6/28). Genius.
I wrote a short article for Beatmag in the UK about music films I saw at SXSW back in March. Read it for reviews of Kurt Cobain: About a Son, Silver Jew, Scott Walker: 30 Century Man, and The Great World of Sound. http://www.beatmag.net/july07/reviews/film.php
