Film Shorts and TV Pilot Programs are the premiere of a group of short films. They can range from the length of a music video to a TV episode. The SXSW Film & TV Festival has seven different programs. There are 8-20 films per program.
You must photograph those who are in attendance from every short film in the program.
Arrive early and make contact with the SXSW representative (yellow or green lanyard) to see if they can assist with wrangling the directors/casts so photographing them will go quickly. Time for this to happen is limited before the screening begins.
**You will need to ask the people you photograph what film they are with and record this information. For the photos you turn in, you must include the name of the film they are associated with in the metadata.**
