"Some Assembly Required", a new 91-minute documentary that follows six teams of teenagers as they compete in the annual TOYchallenge to win the national toy design crown, makes its world premiere this week at the SXSW Film Conference & Festival in Austin, Texas.

The film includes scenes with astronauts Sally Ride (who is also credited as executive producer) and Ellen Ochoa as judges for the competition, which takes place at the San Diego Air and Space Museum in California. You can see them in the aptly-titled preview, Here Comes The Judges.

(If you're really observant, you might also spot a cS member and contributing writer in the above clip... or at least half of him! Check out the credits page where he gets his FFull acknowledgments due.)
