The 5th Annual RxSM Self-Medicated Film Expo (RxSM), unfolds once again this year alongside South by Southwest, one of the most beloved cultural events in Austin, Texas. RxSM shines a bright spotlight on talented filmmakers in the thick of the busy festival circuit. Each March, thousands of cinephiles descend on Austin to get a glimpse of the incredibly inspired work being done in indie cinema, and RxSM is eager to provide it.

From beginning to end, RxSM is dedicated to edgy, boundary-expanding storytelling that falls well outside of the mainstream. There’s no better place to honor such off-beat fare as Austin, an unforgettable melting pot of artistry, musicianship, rule-breakers and warm hearts. Founded, organized, programmed and promoted by filmmakers who can’t help but think outside of the box, RxSM is forever in the service of like-minded free spirits — and fantastic parties that last well into the night.

RxSM will take place at various loctions, including Spider House Ballroom, Juju Foto Factory and The New Movement.
