Filmmakers of all shapes, sizes, stripes, makes, models, genres, durations, ages, backgrounds, creeds, colors, and technologies, come forth: South by Southwest Film 06 wants your work. Initially, at least. It must be said that after reviewing it they might not want it anymore. But that’s the chance you take when you want to express yourself and/or make it big, so deal with it. Submissions for consideration in the 2006 Festival, which takes place March 10 through 16, are being accepted until Dec. 5 (early deadline is Nov. 14). For more information and to get things going, log onto www.sxsw.com/film.
