For the
sake of not having to write the same intro a million
different ways throughout the rest of time, just know that
this column avoids the overly long and sometimes dull
process of full film reviews and instead opts to break
things down based on what I thought going in, what happened
while I was there and what I learned at the end of it all.
Hope that's OK.

SXSW
Breakdown - Hood To Coast
The Impression:
Runners embark on a epic endeavor from Mount Hood to the
coast of Oregon. Or something.
The Reality:
I went in to this expecting more of a numbers kind of thing
(you know, how many compete, how many manage to finish the
grueling race, etc), but what I actually got was an
incredibly uplifting and entertaining tale about joining
together with people and taking on something you'd never be
able to do by yourself. It just doesn't get much
better than that, so do yourself a favor and see this as
soon as possible.
The Lesson:
Apparently, not all documentaries have to be about dolphin
slaughters or other disturbing matters.
