Cupcake short film on big screen at SXSW

Still from "Sweet Dreams" by Kirsten Lepore

Remember Kirsten Lepore's cupcake animation short film "Sweet Dreams" and how it went viral on food blogs back in January? (Click link or image above to watch it)

Well, now's your chance to watch it on the big screen!

It's showing at SXSW as part of the film festival at the wonderful Alamo Drafthouse, 1120 South Lamar Blvd., Austin, Texas at the following dates and times:

2:00 PM, Sunday March 15th - Alamo Lamar 1

11:30 AM, Tuesday March 17th - Alamo Lamar 1

1:30 PM, Wednesday March 18th - Alamo Lamar 1

Here's the official description:

This stop-motion animation, made almost entirely with real food, tells the tale of a stalwart cupcake yearning to find something beyond his world of sugar cube skyscrapers and frosting-covered friends. When his makeshift boat crashes on foreign shores, he makes a shocking discovery that changes him forever.

If Lepore is here, hopefully we can catch up with her and ask her what the inspiration for it was.
