A nexus of discovery and collaborative energy, SXSW Film kicks off in high gear with their annual Beginner's Guide. Answering questions like how do I get around Austin during the fest? When should I arrive to get into my movie? How do I navigate badge lines and how can I be sure to hit the best parties? Veteran SXSW participants and locals will share best ways to navigate Austin, the festival, ways to maximize social media during the event and even where to find the best eats. Rookies should come armed with questions and learn the tips and tricks to having the best experience while at the SXSW Film Festival and Conference.
