South by Southwest is an enlightened festival. It's what I think a film festival should be. It's not a market-driven festival like Sundance is. Sundance is an increasingly irrelevant excuse as a film festival.
People go to it.
So I'm interested in talking with people and getting feedback. To me, a film festival is really when people can see a film and meet the filmmaker and talk about it. It's about the ideas of film and not the money of making movies. Which is a part of it, but not the most important for me. There's not that many people that would be courageous enough to be upfront and that visible as the narrator of this movie.
