Silver Circle Came, Saw, & Conquered the SXSW Trade Show 2011
March 23rd, 2011We spent 4 days at the famous South by Southwest, and you better believe that everyone in the Trade Show met and learned a little bit about our film and comic book while we were there. We met a few celebrities as well…Dave Della from Boondock Saints and the “What’s in your wallet?” guy!
What we found most striking throughout the Trade Show was the number of people who would initiate the conversation with us about the Federal Reserve and politics in general. When we would talk to others about the premise of the film grins would appear across the faces of those passing by. Those smiles were ones of pleasure and approval of our casted “bad guy”…the Fed. What is a better comic enemy than a pseudo government agency that is working behind closed doors?
The highlight of the show the whole crew agreed, on was the Block Party on Tuesday night where we held 8 screenings of our . Every showing was jam-packed with people overflowing into the back! You can check out the pictures in the slide show. We served up some buttery popcorn while sharing our unique story with attendees. Each person who attended the mini-theatre had an opportunity to win 1/10 oz of Rebel Silver. Needless to say we had some very happy campers and also provided ourselves with the perfect platform to discuss alternative currency.
Silver Circle will be submitting to South by Southwest Film Festival for 2012. Wish us luck and keep sharing our project with your friends!
