Yo. We're here in Austin at SXSW, interviewing filmmakers and talking to people, and if you happen to be here too, you should come visit us!
We'll have 4 people from Massify there, so you can either follow us on Twitter or find us at the trade show, which will be in the Austin convention center. Above is the map. We're booth #116 (as if you couldn't tell), which is sandwiched between a (nonworking?) door and a staff booth. If you go into the main entrance, and turn left, then make a right, we should be on the left hand side.
We'd love to meet anybody who can make it!
