SXSW - SATURDAY 

The pervasive feeling around SXSW, as I feel it? A frenetic gathering of people who like each other very much. Like Range Life Entertainment chief and Box Elder-director Todd Sklar, and You Won't Miss Me-director Ry Russo-Young outside the premiere of Andrew Bujalksi's Beeswax. They are on a panel, "Indie Realities," later this week. 


Or It Was Great, But I Was Ready To Come Home-director Kris Swanberg and Man About Town/Great World of Sound-director Craig Zobel, at her husband Joe Swanberg's madhouse of an Alexander the Last premiere. 


By "madhouse" I mean thronged by press and several lines around the block. On stage the Q & A, stars Amy Seimetz and Jess Weixler cried like babies (it has to do with accessing the most nasal part of your throat, I can do it now too), as well as some kind of strange performance game, and promoted last night's simultaneous release of their film on VOD. The film was very well-received. I have many crazy pictures of the dance party after-party, but no permission to publish any of them.
