Re: Echotone – the documentary SXSW doesn’t want you to see

Earlier this week we posted about Echotone, a new documentary that is being called the film that SXSW doesn’t want you to see.

The film is now available for streaming on Hulu.The annual interactive/movie/music festival kicks off today so the timing couldn’t be better (or worse, depending on your view).
