"Altimas, TopNotch, Altimas.Net on the Big Screen." Has anyone heard of South by Southwest Music Festival (SXSW) here in Austin, Texas? Well, recently they added a film part where you can submit short films/independant films. A guy here in Austin has put together a short film with sort of a "Fast and the Furious" scene in it. It will be ready in about the next 3-4 weeks and presented at the SXSW Film Festival. Well the Alty was representin. There is a shot where the cars are lined up on either sides of the people racing and the Alty will be in that shot for sure. My bf drove my car because I was actually the "flag girl" starting the races. They filmed 2 races. One between my bro in law's 91' Tegra vs newer 94' Tegra. And the finale race was between a Lamborghini and a black Saleen with supercharger and 100 Nos shot. The Lamborghini looked so tight with those lights coming up out of the hood. And the Saleen had some holes in his hood for blow off, so you can see them shooting straight up. Other cars in the shots were a Supra, other Tegra's couple civics. domestics were a Vette and few other cars. But it was real fun. Me, my bf, my bro in law, and his gf are in all the shots where people are just hanging out. It took us about 2.5 hrs and it was all shot in a huge parking lot where the producer got the permission. Hope to see it soon.
