sundance...the rest.

i'm too tired to type about the rest of sundance.  you can refer to this post to hear about some others i saw.  i share similar feelings with melanie, and i hope phoebe in wonderland finds a distributor to pick it up.  

yesterday i went up for a final hoorah.  riley, megan, and i headed up for the final day of screenings before the awards today.  we saw a shorts program.  i really enjoyed the shorts program!   i think next year i'll try to see them all.  it's great because you see 7 short films and if you don't like one, you know it will be over soon.  loved it!  riley and megan are what I would call benefits from working at publications and graphics.  they are interns for byu magazine and a whole lotta fun!

every year i have a mini post-mortum (sp?) about my sundance experience and what i will do differently for the following year: 

#1.)  Next winter might very well be the last winter I live in Utah permanently so I think I am going to try and get a job with the festival.  I was talking with a few of the workers yesterday and they can basically get into any movie they want to see for free.  (with a few exceptions and such.)  and if i can get a job with them for the festival maybe that can transcribe into a yearly position.  (i was surprised to see how many workers at the festival were from out of town.)

#2.) if i don't work as an employee, i am getting the pass where credentials are part of the package.  there are some fun music events i missed out on because i didn't have a credential.  but if i'm working i automatically get one.  yay.

#3.)  see the 4 shorts programs.  there are four of them so it's like seeing 28 films.  they have to choose from over 5100 short films.  i was impressed.  

goodbye sundance film festival 2008.  see you next year.
