Sundance Wrap up

Here's a wrap up of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival

Sundance was amazing, from the small town, Park City to the neighbouring ski resorts.

Park City Main Street

This year’s tagline is Film takes Place

Rosa getting goodies from the Stella Artois tent Ran in to Bill Macy who has a film called The Deal in the festival. Met him when we were going in to a photo shoot and he was just finishing up. He was so nice. We chatted for a while. I told him I noticed his voice in the film Somewhere In Time by Jeannot Szwarc and discussed how that was really his first film. He was a glorified extra in Somewhere In Time but look where he is now. (see Jaycee trying to get in the picture?)

There was a great space called “Frontiers on Main” where they showcased art installation pieces. They printed jeans in one corner.For video click ">here Tobias Pausinger, representative from The Match Factory, The Drummer’s international Sales agent, came from Munich to attend Sundance with us.

We met up with a long lost friend, Ann Collier. She lived in Hong Kong for a year. She wrote an article on my first film Rice Rhapsody which was her first venture writing about film. She was hooked. We didn’t hear from her until a few months later we saw that she was our publicity coordinator at Sundance. Small world. It was great to see her there.

Q&A at the Egyptian Theatre

25th January — screening at Holiday Village The Q&A session was great because almost all the audience stayed behind for it.

Programmer Caroline Libresco introduced The Drummer.

At the award ceremony, Bill Macy was the M.C. He called in a favor to ask his wife, Felicity Huffman, to give out an award.



Diego Luna from fame

Tarantino said that he didn’t get any awards the year he was there with Reservoir Dogs. He gave a really rousing speech about what an honor it is to be at Sundance with a film.
