About RxSM:
RxSM, the “Self-Medicated” Film Expo, was founded in 2010 to provide an alternate venue for independent filmmakers during the “Official” film festival. RxSM champions cutting-edge cinema, as well as, the work of first-time filmmakers that otherwise might not have a showcase for their work. RxSM is a festival founded, organized, and programmed by filmmakers who fight to maintain a voice for independents.
