SUNDANCE 2007
Back now five days from the Sundance Film Festival in Utah. I was there a week and worked every waking minute of it. Apart from a half day I managed to get up on the slopes for a spot of snowboarding, I was out the door by 9 a.m. and not in bed before 3 the next morning.
The festival itself was the best I have attended. Because 30,000 filmmakers and industry people descend on a tiny town in the mountains, everybody you meet, standing in line for coffee, waiting for a bus, is involved in film - and therefore potential business!
The festival's greatest strength however is in it's variety of independent film. I saw great narratives, great documentaries and great short films. They were all good. Ones to watch out for include 'The Signal', 'Weapons', 'Manda Bala' & 'Crazy Love' to name but four!
Although Utah was beautiful, nowhere has been able to compare to Washington state for me. Flying into Seattle always puts a smile on my face.
