SXSW 2012 Photos: Braving the Wild Red Carpets
The red carpets at SXSW are often a little crazy. The SXSW staff and volunteers do an excellent job of managing these events, but there are many people in a small space and afterwards you don't really want to see the related movie as much as you want to find the nearest bar. It is not a task for the weak or easily intimidated. I did cover the Trash Dance red carpet this year but that was much smaller and quieter compared to, say, The Cabin in the Woods.
Fortunately, this year a pair of courageous and intrepid photographers offered their red-carpet shooting skills to Slackerwood: Molly Dinkins and Dick De Jong. What follows is a sampling of the great photos they snapped during a number of SXSW 2012 red carpets -- and a couple of Q&As -- whether of first-feature screenwriters or well known celebrities, representing movies from Bernie to Killer Joe to Somebody Up There Likes Me. We've got Gabrielle Union, Johnny Knoxville ... and Austin documentary filmmaker/UT professor Paul Stekler.
I want to thank Dinkins / De Jong one more time for their excellent photos both at SXSW and at the Texas Film Hall of Fame Awards.
