If you submitted a film you will receive an email from SXSW confirming that we have received your entry or if your entry is incomplete. All filmmakers will be sent a notification of their film's final status no later than Friday, February 8, 2013.

No news is good news! If you haven't heard from us yet it means your film is still in the running. Please don't feel panicked unless you still haven't heard from us at all by Friday, February 8, 2013. However, it gets pretty hectic around here. If you haven't heard anything by February 8, please feel free to check in with us after that date. For more general information on SXSW Film, check out our FAQ page.
