Our team was all set to travel to Austin, Texas for the SXSW Film Festival… until we couldn’t. About ten days before the start of the festival, we scrambled to cancel our flights and hotel rooms. Virus be damned. As disappointed as we were to see the cancellation of the festival, the entire Film Threat team was ready to cover the festival remotely.
Enjoy this round-up of SXSW coverage including Film Threat reviews of over forty-five features and short films.
