Take feature films, documentaries and independent films, throw in the directors and actors who made these films, add a town eclectic enough to hold them all?
What does that equal?
The annual South by Southwest Festival in Austin.
These three films summarized are a few of the wonderful films featured at the festival and will soon be available for the audiences-viewing pleasure.
In the film "Bi the way," directors Brittany Blockman and Josephine Decker explore the sexual frontier of a new generation; bisexuality.
They research the latest scientific reports and poll the masses on their opinions of bisexuality and how it is changing society while following five teens and 20-somethings.
It is inspired by the infamous scene from the hit teen TV show "The O.C." where Mischa Barton kisses a girl and claims to become bisexual.
"Bi the way" asks the questions: When does someone know they are bisexual?; if someone gets married are they still considered bi?
"Bi the way" is currently not available for theatrical release.

"Run Fatboy Run," the first movie directing gig for David Schwimmer, Ross in the long-running sitcom "Friends," is a London-set romantic comedy with an original screenplay by Michael Ian Black.
Dennis, played by Simon Pegg, is a women's clothing store security officer with not much else happening for him in his life except for his son and seeing his ex-fiance Libby, played by Thandie Newton.
Dennis and Libby were meant to be married, but Dennis got cold feet and on their wedding day, Dennis left a pregnant Libby at the altar.
He felt he would rather ruin her one day, than ruin her entire life.
Now, Dennis wants to win Libby back and steal her from the almost perfect man she is currently seeing, Whit, played by Hank Azaria.
Dennis decides to run in a charity sponsored marathon against Whit to prove to Libby that he can actually finish something in his life.
