Sundance is Coming Tomorrow!


Most of you know about the Sundance Festival from what you see on Entertainment tonight or the E Channel. Movie stars and parties happening up in Park City but a lot of locals don't know what an amazing opportunity we have in our own backyard. Tickets to movies aren't as hard to get as everyone thinks and you can wait in line for any movie offered. Tickets are $15.00 and often include a Q & A session after the movie with the director and sometimes the actors. It's kind of a process with waiting for a number, then waiting to get in - but it can be done and I've never been turned away for a movie I waitlisted for. Here are details on how to do it

Theater locations aren't just in Park City, The Broadway, The Tower and the Rose Wagner in Salt Lake city show films as well as a theater in Ogden.

Another great part of the festival are the panel discussions on all things creative and film making. Many of these events are free and open to the public - make sure to read if tickets are required.

Another way to get up close and personal is to volunteer for the festival. I have volunteered for the last few years and having credentials gets you in to activities that the general public can't. If you have the chance, take in a movie, or a panel.

This is a perfect example of an amazingly creative venue in our own backyard - get out and experience it if you can.

Ah! Sundance is amazing! I wish I could go, I've never actually been able to go yet but it's one of my "one day" goals. Exciting.
