SXSW Film Tip: Billy The Kid Documenary + After Party @ FactoryPeople

This Sunday, the SXSW Film Festival will host the world premiere of Jennifer Venditti's much buzzed-about documentary Billy The Kid. The film follows Billy Price, a fifteen-year-old boy who overcomes obstacles with courage and wisdom to spare.

This one looks really interesting—apparently, Venditti is a casting agent who's famous for her "street scouting", where she travels around finding real people (as opposed to, you know, actors) for advertising, fashion and film roles. She encountered Price while on a casting trip in Maine, and became so intrigued that she decided to make a documentary about him.

After the screening, head over to the after party at FactoryPeople, featuring a celebrity DJ (TBD) and imagery on the outside rooftop (running the trailer and additional footage from the documentary). The party is free and open to the public.
