Film Experience Hackathon

Coders, hackers, filmmakers and visual artists will join forces to create new and innovative ideas demonstrating how technology can enrich the end-to-end movie experience. 

Over the course of the weekend, teams will self-assemble and create a proof-of-concept, prototype and/or fully working application that is focused on one or more of the following film experience areas:

• Discover: Improve the experience of discovering, learning about, locating, and ticket-buying/streaming/downloading a movie.
•  Watch: Enrich the movie-viewing experience itself through multimedia and interactive elements.
•  Engage: Rethink the ways that viewers can share opinions, reviews, and have conversations—online and/or offline—about movies. 

• 1st Place: SXSW Film & Bond Strategy Prize Package
  The winning team will receive three (3) SXSW 2013 Film Badges ($650 value each) and be featured as a highlighted participant in the inaugural Film Startup Alley at the 2013 SXSW Film Conference & Festival. This new programming track brings together the startup, entrepreneur and investor communities under one umbrella at a prime location.
