Today marks the first official day of the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. I am in Park City with my press credentials and new snow boots! Today was mostly spent tending to business. I picked up my press packet, spent hours finalizing which films I’m going to see, and attended the annual press conference with Robert Redford.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to see any films. The two opening night films – HOWL and Restrepo – were both sold out and the waitlist was a bust. But I have plans to see both films over the weekend, so that eases the disappointment.
After realizing that I wasn’t going to see any films tonight, I strolled Main Street weighing my options. I was pleasantly surprised to find Joseph Gordon-Levitt at New Frontier on Main talking about his project (hitRECord.org) and introducing himself to everyone as “Joe.” So charming.
