So concludes day one of my first real SXSW experience. I’ve been several times in the past since 2007, but they were mostly for music and I never had a badge. In the 12 years since, the festival itself has shifted much more towards being a tech conference than a music festival, and of course has become the home to many world premieres in film and television.

The day started off as many others for me, riding CapMetro downtown, but what filled my day was incredible experiences from both attending panels, and just taking in what the festival had to offer. Watch my video for a look into my day!
