I saw some movies that revived my faith in filmmaking, movies that were so fresh and well-made they honestly invigorated me. I saw some really crappy ones, too, but fortunately those were few and far between. The festival takes place in Park City, and not at the Sundance Ski Resort. Every time I mentioned the festival to him, he would ask if they were going to start a Park City Film Festival and hold it at Sundance. He never got tired of saying that, though I sort of did.
Park City is an hour from Provo.
Famous people are fair game, more or less, especially grotesque ones like Mick Jagger. I saw Roger Ebert in person at the closing-night awards ceremony, but I didn't get to talk to him. I like him quite a bit as a critic and a writer. This work may not be transmitted via the Internet, nor reproduced in any other way, without written consent from Eric D. Snider.
