Sundance Sunshine Sunday

The Sundance Film Festival, Park City --

The weather broke for the better, and the women's feet were a little bit warmer. But someone should tell them that this is the MOUNTAINS of America's west, not Manhattan or Los Angeles with their stylin' non-utilitarian footwear. Hadta work the morning, so now I'm relaxing and planning my screening sched for the rest of the week.

Best kept secret from the locals?? (Shhhh, but there's no one on the mountain or in the halfpipe. Absolutely the best time to snowboard at the Park City resorts, 'cause everyone in town is searching for a tribe or a fire to tell stories around)

When I teased a young Tilda Swinton handler that Conan O'Brian wanted to cast her in his autobio-pic, (true joke!) the young Yalie said, "It was on the interview Q sheet, but it didn't quite fit the tone." With judgement like that, the guy has a real career ahead of him.

I'll offer some of my own reviews and photos tomorrow, (HotAtSundance, for what that's worth) but you could virtually attend the fest by hashtag and YouTube, where many of the films can be downloaded for a fee. The film production and distribution business is in monumental revision with the proliferation of NewMedia. In 2010, everyone has a personal brand.

next: PrimalScreen, New Frontiers, yada, yada, yada...
