12/8 Anyone have any overall advice or comments for someone going to
Sundance film festival for the first time? Is it pretty much as
depicted in South Park?
\_ There is nothing for someone not in the industry to do there.
It's a place to network and party a little bit. It's the
equivalent of going to DECUS or something, but for small(er)-time
film makers. I've never been, but my gf works for a film school
which often submits films to all of the festivals (including
Cannes). I have heard this sentiment from people who have gone.
If your film is entered, then have a blast. If not, why go?
\_ Because a good friend of mine's film is showing. He's new to
this stuff as well, and made his film for about 9k. I was just
planning to go for the day his film shows plus one more day
to drive around Utah, and that sounds like about the right way
to do it.
\_ Stick with him. If it's a good film he will be your
ticket to fun and interesting things.
\_ That's the plan. Thanks. |
