As a way of celebrating this year's nominees for the Spirit Awards in the weeks leading up to the ceremony, we reached out to as many as we could in an effort to better understand what went into their films, what they've gotten out of the experience, and where they've found their inspiration, both in regards to their work and other works of art that might've inspired them from the past year. Their answers will be published on a daily basis throughout February.
One of the many unshakable aspects of the documentary "Marwencol" is that feeling of discovery, not only of its subject Mark Hogancamp, a man whose recovery from a brutal beating leads him to seek out solace in a World War II-themed dream world he's constructed of dolls in his backyard, but also of the film's director Jeff Malmberg, a longtime editor making his feature debut as a director.

Stay tuned for more previews as we inch closer to March 12th opening day to SXSW Film 2010. Loved Ones, The | Review "The Loved Ones, a brilliantly creepy feature-length debut from writer-director Sean Byrne, is sure to please some of the more discerning horror fans out there with its brains, creativity and visual panache. From my estimation The Loved Ones is prone to become a “midnight movies” cult favorite ala Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead trilogy,...

Director: Monteith McCollum I sometimes think I am one of the only people in the United States that would prefer if we could reset some of the world’s technological advancements, for example: go back to the pre-automobile days…or at least to the days before every household had multiple automobiles. Now, I say this but my actions contradict my words. I own a car, but I avoid driving said car as often as possible. (For example, I am hoping to go the entire 2010 SXSW Film Festival without using my car.) I should also admit that I do not currently own a bicycle. My primary means of transportation are the bus and my own two feet. Two of the main reasons that I own a car are: the public transportation system in Austin is mediocre at best (still waiting on Light Rail) and I do not like riding a bicycle alongside traffic.
