Sundance/Slamdance 2013 – 1/18/2013
Opening Night at Slamdance and Sundance
2013
Well, I'm here in Park City. It's
Saturday morning. Sitting here at the Sundance Channel Headquarters
on Main Street across the street from Slamdance. Just got in town
last night. And the routine of the madness is starting out with a
bang.
Here's a quick breakdown of what
happened yesterday:
Woke up at 5 am in the apartment in
Vegas. Got myself woke up with strong coffee on the couch in my
underwear. Washed clothes and packed. Drove from Vegas to Salt Lake
City. Got our room at the Motel 6. Then drove to Park City. Spent a
lot of time finding a parking space. Took the shuttle to Main Street.
Walked up to Slamdance at the Treasure Mountain Inn with Opal and got
our alumni / programmer passes. Saw a bunch of old film friends right
off the bat. Networked for a couple hours. Got some tickets for films
over the weekend. Then walked down Main Street last night to check
out the scope of the land for the weekend. Hit a couple of spots like
the Sundance House and the Sundance Music Cafe before walking over to
the big opening night Slamdance party on Heber. Was there for a
couple of hours before taking the shuttle to the car at the Snow Park
Lodge, then drove back to the Motel 6 in Salt Lake City, getting to
the room around 1:30 a.m.
Took it a little easy yesterday. What
we did yesterday was light for us during the Park City madness.
I've got Opal with me this time around.
The other half of my creative team. Writer and Star of our biggest
Slamdance film PHONE SEX GRANDMA. 67 years old, and my Mother is more
fired up than ever. The star of Main Street. Opal Dockery has owned
this town with her films over the years. She's a little under the
weather as we start things off. Need to make sure she doesn't get run
down.
A lot of things lined up today during
Sundance and Slamdance 2013. Look out, Park City. We're here for our
first full day on Main Street.
