Anticipating SXSW, 3/4.

The Lost Coast "Watching Gabriel Fleming's new film, The Lost Coast [site], it seems very little of the San Francisco I knew in my early 20s has changed all that much," writes Flickhead. "Together with cinematographer Nils Kenaston, Fleming captures that chilly, clammy, shadowy and serene moment between childhood idealism and the less flexible demands - real or imagined - of maturity."

Rumsey Taylor opens Not Coming to a Theater Near You's coverage of SXSW with an interview with Matt Dentler.

And Matt points to Christopher Kelly's Texas Monthly column on emerging homegrown talent featured at SXSW this year: Margaret Brown (The Order of Myths), David Modigliani (Crawford; site), David and Nathan Zellner (Goliath) and David Redmon and Ashley Sabin (Intimidad).

"Second Skin [site], a documentary to be featured later this week in the Spotlight Premieres section at SXSW, follows a handful of gamers who are deeply devoted to Massively Multiplayer Online games such as Second Life and World of Warcraft." Karina Longworth interviews the team behind it, director Juan Carlos Pineiro Escoriaza and producers Victor Pineiro and Peter Schieffelin Brauer for the SpoutBlog.

Scott Solary's going to be busy.
