So this happened. One of our first stops on the Sundance Film Festival train was the Filmmaker Lodge for a Cinema Cafe event: Norman Lear + Lena Dunham in a conversation moderated by Logan Hill of The New York Times. I figured this chat was going to pull a huge draw, […]
Sundance Film Festival is finally here! The Day One Press Conference marks the beginning of the festival… so long as you don’t count the arrival of a lot of moving vans and construction crews that take over Main Street for days as they erect activations, installations, lounges, and temporary storefronts.

I’m not sure what triggers the start, but it’s either the Day One Press Conference (which I covered for Salt Lake magazine) or the complete transformation of Main Street into the hippest place in the country. And […]
