As I mentioned when rounding up the Narrative Feature Competition, wrapping SXSW 2012 could take a while. That batch opened with comments from one of the jurors, J Hoberman, and this one will as well. First, though, let's mention that we already have roundups going on the award-winners, Beware of Mr Baker and Bay of All Saints.
So the Guardian's Catherine Shoard, jury member, found Jeffrey Kimball's The Central Park Effect to be "a sweet study of the birders who flock to Manhattan's thick strip of parkland each spring. It was pretty gentle, generic, even, but felt from a different planet from the rest in that it wasn't wholly human-focused.

It's always a risk when you take on a subject as sensitive as religion. Especially when you are tackling it in a comedy. It's an extremely fine line and it's difficult to navigate. It helps if you create your own religion called Badasstianity (or Awesomism, depending on who is talking) that believes the afterlife is "The Magic Kingdom mixed with The Playboy Mansion mixed with Candyland mixed with Six Flags with a hint of Thunderdome from Mad Max". Who wouldn't sign up for that? Marty and Doug's New Religion is a six-part web series that explores what happens when two slackers decide to form a religion for their own selfish purposes, piss off Jesus and the church across the street, and ultimately realize how much power can corrupt.
