The film is receiving the kind of buzz on Park City streets that makes for Grand Jury Prizes. So Tammy Faye is having fun, alright. But then, true to well-publicized form, her eyes are filling with tears. She's says she's so happy that the documentary is getting such a warm response. It was a wonderful, warm moment for me.
More warm moments are in store, because the film festival is just getting warmed up.
With opening night festivities this past Thursday, most everyone began filling Park City streets over the weekend. The stars showed up, Graham with boyfriend Ed Burns in tow, greeting the crush of cameras and fans. Earlier in the day, a news conference was held for another Sundance movie. Cameron Diaz, Holly Hunter, Amy Brenneman, Calista Flockhart, Glenn Close, and Kathy Baker star in the story of five interwoven vignettes about the female experience in modern Los Angeles. And the film's a homegrown project.
