Become a Legion M FILM SCOUT for South By Southwest!

The South By Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival is known for its eclectic program of blockbuster premieres mingling with hilarious, weird, and wonderfully bizarre films. For the first time ever we have expanded Film Scout to SXSW. Matchups are LIVE NOW through March 27th, when scoring for this festival will be locked.

If you’re not familiar with Film Scout, you can click here to learn more. To participate, simply download the Film Scout app to your iOS or Android device. It’s 100% free, and allows you to scout SXSW films whether you’re standing in line in Austin or lying on your couch. Compete for an invitation to join Legion M’s Elite Scout program (awarded to the top 5% of Film Scouts at each festival) while helping the company harness the wisdom of the crowd and potentially find our next big project!

If you want to WATCH the films playing at SXSW, there is an option for that too. They have a robust online offering accessible via their online badge which, while pricey at nearly $500, includes access to almost 100 films plus a number of other online networking opportunities. (Note - If you are planning to purchase an online badge, please send an email to team@legionm.com — if we have enough folks interested, we can get a group rate that might save everyone a little money.)

We’re excited to be taking this next step and expanding the scope of our Film Scout program (as well as our Elite Scout program). If you haven’t tried Film Scout yet, there’s never been a better time.

Happy Scouting!
