As we get closer to March and the 2013 edition of SXSW Film, we know that many of you filmmakers are eager to know the status of your film. We understand, but please know that we're still screening intensely, and we still have many decisions to make.

We will be announcing our full lineup within the next few weeks, and we don't want to keep any of our thousands of film entrants waiting any longer than needed.

Whatever happens, we will let you know the status of your film by February 6 at the latest. Sit tight - we appreciate your patience as we assemble what we hope will be our best program yet! For more information on the SXSW Film submissions process, head to the Submissions FAQ page.
