Back to where I started

January 23, 2008

I’m back at my weathervane for activity, the Clockwork Café where I am the only one sitting at a table. It is obvious that the festival is winding down, even though there are four more days of film screenings and panel discussions. The stars have flown back to LA along with all the scantily clad [...]

Reviewing and concluding

January 22, 2008

If you’ve read my last post, you will probably want to hear the conclusion to my dramatic evening. It’s so not Hollywood. I filed a police report. No one ever found my wallet. Boo hoo. But, something came out of this that I could not have predicted. I haven’t cried in a long time. Losing [...]

Getting it in the face

January 21, 2008

I’ve gotten several responses from you WHYY listeners saying how fun I’ve made Sundance sound and how you wish you were here. Well, right now, I wish you were here too, because I’ve just had about the worst night a traveler can have. After I got home, exhausted from a day of skiing and having [...]

Seeing it

January 20, 2008

You know those actors, always trying to strike up a conversation with any and [...]

Getting into it

January 19, 2008

I’m going to go ahead and admit something here: Sundance is cooler than I thought it would be.

It’s a place that, obviously, has wi-fi (stay clear of the HP laptops), [...]

Being there

January 19, 2008

There are a lot of 8:30 am showings at Sundance, all of which were sold out last I checked. But, you wouldn’t know it from how dead the streets are this morning. You might get a hint at the indoor activity, however, from how utterly packed Clockwork Coffee on Main St. is. So jammed was [...]

Sundance: Getting there…

January 19, 2008

Last night our guest blogger, Kristine Kennedy, sent in her first post from The Sundance Film Festival.  Here it is.  You can also check out Kristine’s blog, Unsolicited Submissions.
Where to begin? How about right now. I am standing in near pitch darkness in the cavernous New Frontiers building at a bank of laptops provided by [...]
