General Information:

  • Film Austin : Let Film Austin introduce you, the independent filmmaker or Hollywood professional, to Austin filmmaking opportunities and resources. Film Austin highlights the Film Austin members, but will continue to expand in keeping with the fact that Austin is considered second only to New York City as an Indie City.
  • South by Southwest (SXSW) : Austin, Texas, home of a large diverse community of filmmakers, annually hosts one of the most important gatherings of independent, regional and industry film people in the country. Every March at the Austin Convention Center all of these talents come together at the SXSW Film Conference and Festival. The New York Times has said, "SXSW is a magnet for indie filmmakers... it crackles with excitement." MovieMaker has said, "SXSW is an invigorating experience. From the quality of the films and panels to the equally important enthusiasm of the participants, SXSW is a great festival at which to celebrate all things indie."
  • Austin School of Film : A non-profit independent film, art, and technology center that supports every aspect of production from idea to distribution. Their goal is to educate, train, and develop emerging artists of all ages to be active participants in shaping our 21st century culture.
  • Internet Movie Database In addition to providing a searchable database that includes thousands of movies, this comprehensive portal also features a section specifically devoted to independent film. Special indie features include an "ask the filmmaker" section with well-known independents, as well as a newswire, feature articles and TV listings. The site also includes a glossary of film terms.
