Final Snapshots from SXSW 2015

March 21, 2015 by Kate Leave a Comment

Happy Saturday, Everyone. I wanted to share a few more snapshots from my week at SXSW 2015. While I love a good live show when it comes to music, I usually stick to SXSW Film, because my time is limited and the film festival is a way for me to recharge, take in some amazing movies, and learn more about the world through the eyes of talented filmmakers.

The Breakfast Club and Other SXSW Adventures

March 18, 2015 by Kate 3 Comments

This week is off to an amazing start, and it’s all because SXSW is here! It’s truly the most beautiful time of the year in Austin (spring weather is finally starting), and with travelers from all over the world pouring into the city, it’s a blast to walk around downtown and people watch. I’m only taking Thursday and Friday off from work, so my film festival fun has been limited to one movie a day so far, but they’ve been very memorable selections. Let’s start with The Breakfast Club…

The Art of Sonnenzimmer

I’ve spent the past week enjoying film at the South by Southwest Music, Film and Interactive Conferences and Festivals (SXSW) in Austin, Texas. While I didn’t have nearly as much time off work as I have in years past, I still managed to head to some great movies, as well as the Flatstock gig poster show, which is held each year during the festival. Today we spotlight the work of Sonnenzimmer, the artistic team of Nick Butcher and Nadine Nakanishi. One of the main reasons we love their work: it looked like nothing else at Flatstock.

Friday Video Pick: “A Message to You Rudy” by The Specials

March 15, 2013 by Kate 2 Comments

The South by Southwest Music Festival is in full swing here in Austin, Texas. In honor of The Specials’ upcoming performance, today we feature the video for their classic track “A Message to You Rudy.” The song was originally performed by Dandy Livingstone in 1967, but The Specials gave it true notoriety when they covered the ditty in 1979. Just two years earlier, the band had formed in Coventry, England, putting their stamp on the ska revival.
