sxsw-logo2South By Southwest is looking for speakers for their 2015 film festival in Austin, Texas and we have a shot to be a part of it! Please go to this link and Vote for our panel to be featured. The director and co-star, producers, and cinematographer will talk about how the film was made on a shoe-string budget yet still made the festival rounds and was ultimately picked up for distribution around the world. It might help to also leave a comment on the page about what you like about the film and why it would make for a good panel. Thanks!

The Battery, with a budget of only $6,000, is a US indie genre film directed by Jeremy Gardner that became a wide success after having been picked up by an international sales agent after a screening at a small festival in France. The film has since been sold to all the major territories. The film makers will discuss their production process, from financing to sales, the problems they encountered during filming and postproduction, the do's and dont's in distribution and how the festivals helped their film to get established.
