Teams of 4-5 students attend the competition at a &#8216;lock-in&#8217; at a high school campus in Austin, TX. Upon arrival, each team must draw a genre and then select a prop that must be prominently featured in the film project. Teams have 24 hours to write, film and edit a short film (max 5 min).<\/p>\n<p>The It&#8217;s A Thing Team drew Romantic Comedy as their genre and an Orange Swim Mask as their prop. In March 2014, 18 teams competed and It&#8217;s A Thing was selected Best Film.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/sxsw?sub_confirmation=1<\/p>\n<p>About SXSW:<br \/>\nStarted in 1987, South by Southwest (SXSW) is a set of film, interactive, and music festivals and conferences that take place early each year in mid-March in Austin, Texas. SXSW\u2019s original goal was to create an event that would act as a tool for creative people and the companies they work with to develop their careers, to bring together people from a wide area to meet and share ideas. That continues to be the goal today whether it is music, film or interactive technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Connect with SXSW Online:<br \/>\nVisit the SXSW WEBSITE: http:\/\/www.sxsw.com<br \/>\nLike SXSW on FACEBOOK: http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SXSWFestival<br \/>\nFollow SXSW on TWITTER: http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/SXSW<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s A Thing | Accepted Film 2015 | SXSW<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/SXSW<\/p>\n<h3>More info on It&#8217;s A Thing | Accepted Film 2015 | SXSW<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ss-local-rss\"><div class=\"rss_header\"><h2><a href=\"https:\/\/cn.bing.com\/news\/search\/?q=It%27s+A+Thing+%7C+Accepted+Film+2015+%7C+SXSW&amp;qft=sortbydate%3D%221%22&amp;format=rss\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"rss_title\">It's A Thing | Accepted Film 2015 | SXSW - BingNews<\/a><br \/><span class=\"rss_description\"> Search results<\/span><\/h2><\/div><ul>\n            <li>\t\t\t\t<span class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bing.com\/news\/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&amp;aid=&amp;tid=663310c15b9b45e2a6c93c2ad98c45b0&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.forbes.com%2Fsites%2Fmaryroeloffs%2F2024%2F05%2F01%2Fthese-years-old-movies-are-soaring-on-netflix-from-smurfs-to-dev-patels-hotel-mumbai%2F&amp;c=13908182903557796001&amp;mkt=en-us\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThese Years-Old Movies Are Soaring On Netflix\u2014From 'Smurfs' To Dev Patel's 'Hotel Mumbai'\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Anyone But You\u201d starring Sydney Sweeny and Glen Powell was an instant hit among romantic comedy fans despite a relatively cold reception from critics.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n            \n            <li>\t\t\t\t<span class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bing.com\/news\/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&amp;aid=&amp;tid=663310c15b9b45e2a6c93c2ad98c45b0&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.smh.com.au%2Fgoodfood%2Fsydney-eating-out%2Fit-s-not-fancy-but-joe-s-table-is-one-of-the-nicest-restaurants-in-the-eastern-suburbs-20240408-p5fia4.html&amp;c=1342791513284746484&amp;mkt=en-us\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s not fancy, but Joe\u2019s Table is one of the nicest restaurants in the eastern suburbs\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Joe\u2019s Table is not the fanciest, fastest and flashest restaurant in the eastern suburbs.
