A great big thing of note about Our Valley-
Sundance just happens to be here! Today is the opening day of the
Sundance Film Festival. The Resort is in our county not really in The Valley but up Our Canyon. Although most of the festivities do not happen at Sundance Resort, Sundance does do screenings at the resort. As far as
Sweet Things Happenin in Our Valley this is one that is at the top. Because of the writers strike word about town is that many of these Indi Films have a pretty darn good chance of getting signed to go nation wide. Opening film for the festival is “In Bruges” by playwright Martin McDonagh. The festival runs from January 17th- January 27th. There are a 120 films in the festival this year. Pretty much at this point in the game everything is sold-out. But there is news. You can head over to one of the screenings and be on the wait list. You basically wait in line & hope they have room at the last minute. You have to get there early so bring some cards to play or a book to read. I have done this before & a good amount of those who wait-list do get into the screening.
