El director de cine Alan Berg, filmó un documental titulado «Outside Indutry», el verdadero significado del festival SXSW en el año 2011, con documentos que van desde el año 1994, mostrando la evolución de dicho festival y de su ciudad, Austin, la capital de la música en estos momentos.
Las discográficas más importantes del mundo envían a sus hunters u ojeadores al festival, para descubrir nuevos talentos y convertirlos en grandes estrellas.
SXSW (South by Southwest), fue fundamental en su edición del 2007, en su sección SXSW Interactive, una pequeña compañía llamada Twitter organizó en el festival que colocaran grandes pantallas en diferentes zonas de Austin y el festival, en las que se proyectaban los tweets que la gente iba publicando sobre el festival. Era la época pre-hashtag, así que para aparecer en la pantalla había que enviar un SMS pidiendo ser incluido, Twitter multiplicó el número de usuarios y logró que todos los asistenes, normalmente creadores de tendencias en el mundo tecnológico, hablasen sin parar de la red de microblogging.
