I freaking love SXSW from a professional standpoint. I. used to go see music and film premiers, but it doesn't interest me so much anymore- and it's honestly just such a hassle to make happen. What I love about this festival... is the work. Most of my gigs entail visiting clients for a do and go. A do and go is when I visit them (usually their hotel room), get them prepped of an event (sometimes called glam, or men's grooming), and they are off to their event. This is easy work, and I get to meet a lot of really interesting creatives.
Other times I stay with a client, or group. They are traveling around to multiple events, and want me to stay with them for touch ups, and occasionally look changes as they transition from day to night. I love when I get to know a client for an extended amount of time- these jobs can be really fun. Last year I had a great job for multiple days in a row. We dialed her look in so perfectly, it was awesome. The creativity happening all around during SX is so inspiring- it will always be my favorite work festival of the year! (Close second is ATX TV Festival- which not a lot of people know about!).
