From the team at Coat of Arms: “Our friends at SXSW invited us to create the opening title sequence for the 2022 Film Festival. It’s our fourth year collaborating together.

“This time we wanted to build an anthology of different visual styles to speak to the diversity of genre and film that play at the festival. There are 14 easter eggs hidden throughout the titles. Can you spot them all?”
