Greta Gerwig on SXSW

Karina @ SpoutBlog has a short interview with actress Greta Gerwig, star of the Duplass' Bros. "Baghead" and colaborator with Joe Swanberg on "Nights and Weekends," debuting at SXSW.  What is she excited about re: the upcoming fest?
I’m all about the delicious free food they serve at SXSW. In 2006, my first year, there was an an event that served Atomic Tacos. There were three options of taco spiciness: mild, medium, and atomic. Because I live in New York, I think I’m really hard, so I decided to go for the atomic strength. I started crying in thirty seconds. By two minutes, I had to throw up. Tragedy + Time = Comedy. Isn’t that what they say?

Here's the "Nights and Weekends" trailer:
