Let's Get A Few Things Straight

While I am hitting the road, I'm not driving to Park City.

 I'm flying on Wednesday and before I leave I'm going to have to finish 326 things for work, pack, psychologically prepare myself to freeze, and dream about the caramel apples on Main Street. Oh, and the movies. I'm feeling challenged by this year's choices. But I'm in the mood to be challenged. Sometimes my film choices at festivals are like my workouts at the gym have been for the past several years - reading on the machines - not breaking a sweat. I fear I will be breaking a sweat because they're offering up a lot less 'name' projects. On the other hand, we need some 'name' projects to show at Sundance Cinemas. My dream is that we will truly discover films this year (and that our discoveries have distributors). We have SIO passes that only those in 'the industry' have, so we'll be primarily at one or two theatres the whole time, seeing the same folks over and over again in the Disneyland-like snaking lines under a big tent. I'll try to be diligent in my posts, and as always will take pictures of people and things of interest, note the sightings or talks on the blog, and count my consumption of caramel apples.
