It’s always a joy to see a documentary at any festival about the fan community and what makes them tick. THE HOBBY screened at this year’s South By Southwest Film & TV Festival and what excited me the most is that it’s a Canadian produced documentary. I travelled all the way down from Canada to […]

Another documentary from this year’s South By Southwest that had people really talking was the Canadian doc PLASTIC PEOPLE. Both Antonio and myself got to see it (myself ahead of the festival and Antonio went to a screening) and I also had many fest-goers recommend it after seeing the shows while in Austin.

One documentary that had a LOT of talk at South By Southwest this week, and for good reason, is the AMC+/Sundance doc DICKWEED, which its title alone attracted quite a bit of attention. The movie had three screenings at SxSW and the filmmakers were in attendance, and sadly I didn’t get to meet them (but […]

There are no shortage of solid documentaries playing at this year’s South By Southwest TV and Film from all corners of the world and even ones set right here in Austin! Watch over the following week for more reactions, but I wanted to kick off the documentaries from my end with one from my favourite […]

It was a glorious opening night at the 2024 edition of South By Southwest Film & TV for the World Premiere of Doug Liman’s ROAD HOUSE, a big and grand. The cast and crew were all here in attendance. Doug Liman was present, sitting about ten rows behind my aisle seat donning a cowboy hat. […]
