Film Keynote: Gareth Edwards - SXSW 2017

Currently in post-production on his third feature film, the much anticipated Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (watch the newly-released trailer here), Gareth Edwards is no stranger to pushing the boundaries of filmmaking. Previous credits include Godzilla, Monsters, and Hiroshima.

About SXSW:
Started in 1987, South by Southwest (SXSW) is a set of film, interactive, and music festivals and conferences that take place early each year in mid-March in Austin, Texas. SXSW’s original goal was to create an event that would act as a tool for creative people and the companies they work with to develop their careers, to bring together people from a wide area to meet and share ideas. That continues to be the goal today whether it is music, film or interactive technologies.

Edwards is a great director. He did good in Godzilla and did an amazing job in Rogue One

[@AndresArosemena]

One of the most inspiring talks about filmmaking and following your dreams I have ever heard. Gareth Edwards is THE MAN.

[@MrNinjaShizz]

It might just be down to going to the same school as him, albeit 20 or so years later, but Gareth is one of my favorite directors of the past few years, he's so inspiring but manages to remain down to earth. I'm not someone looking to go into film, but this is such a motivating talk that applies to any walks of life.

Thank you SXSW so much for sharing this. Having been in the audience it was one of the most humble, inspiring, funny, emotional and overall beautiful speeches I have seen. So much to get from this not only for film fans and makers - truly a great experience for everybody who is pursuing dreams. I loved watching it again as soon as I saw it was here.

[@lightningstrikestudios6813]

One of my all time favorite film directors, can't wait to see what he does next!

[@JoeJWalker]

As an aspiring Filmmaker this hands down one of the most inspiring videos I've watched. As a fan of Gareth and his work I've naturally watched/listened to anything I can get my hands on, whether it be Blu-Ray features or interviews online. However this was different, It was truly fascinating to hear such a in-depth insight into his life and filmmaking career. I can only hope < (Pun intended) to be half the Director he is one day. Thank you SXSW for uploading this.

[@LetTheWritersWrite]

Make something today, even if it sucks.

[@cokerfilms2901]

dude thank you for that recommendation! Brilliant talk

[@LostUtopiaFilms]

Yeah this was easily one of the best clips on filmmaking i've ever heard, almost a modern day version of Robert Rodriguez's Rebel Without a Crew. Have been in love with Gareth's direction and style ever since Godzilla (super underrated monster movie imo). Hope to have a story of my own to tell someday. Thanks for posting this.

One of the best talks of its kind that I've ever seen.

[@JimONeill]

Truly inspiring. Loved this keynote address from Gareth Edwards.

[@vincentdilella4489]

This guy is a really good director. I loved Rogue one and I can't wait to see what he does next.

[@redfox7497]

I love this keynote..thank you for uploaded this ❤

[@BlackVanilla2000]

Fantastic. Im very grateful for this speech

[@Nicathething]

What a intelligent man. He has talent

[@officialmarlowjamesfilmcen2879]

fantastic! loved listening to this

[@HrabiaKaczula]

Great speech. Funny and inspirational. Gareth is a really good storyteller, and I'm not writing about the movies, but the way he talks too. Gareth is not Steven Spielberg and that is great thing! He is himself! Can't wait to see more of him!

[@TheFascinationMovement]

Amazing talk - thank you Gareth

[@steveesale1]

Excellent talk, thanks

[@Filmmaker809]

Gareth tells it how it is, how narrow minded the industry is...especially the BBC, you're just VFX artist! :( But what I do take from this is Gareth's passion, it has certainly inspired me at 59:40. :) "You have succeeded, doesn't matter what the outcome is. The second you start filming, you did something with your life".

[@jackminnelli]

Wow. Just wonderful.

[@Mariocotorra]

Amazing Keynote!

[@jadenwaz9585]

beautiful speech

[@JamieCosta]

❤

[@BUONCO]

he's funny. as well as awesome

[@BabblingBooby]

What happened to the title sequence of Rogue One?

[@justinb954]

SXSW Hopefully he makes another Star Wars film !! He's the only one who's done it well so far.

[@tristantreart1019]

That Starbucks barista has watched this/may watch this someday and will remember writing that odd name on a cup and shit themselves when they realize they inadvertently named a planet in Star Wars.

[@operatorbutt4265]

He should’ve directed the new trilogy

[@adil9772]

41:15 lost it right there!

[@MrLeeziebee]

Interestingly similar career pathway into Directing to Neil Blomkamp. Both of these guys can do amazing things if you just give them the budget and get out of the way...I think Rogue One as an experience maybe broke a few golden boughs for Gareth after Lucasfilm/DISNEY stole his film from him. I would have loved to have seen his personal love letter to lucas, even if it would be an R18 star wars war film. Sadly, Disney wanted another princess with a confused back story instead.

There are no unicorns...
