I am getting ready to leave and am extremely excited. I leave DePauw tomorrow at 9 am. So far in my Sundance Class we talked about different aspects of the trip and watched and discussed four films. We watched Sex, Lies and Videotape, Murderball, Nina's Tragedies and The Real Dirt Behind Farmer John.
I will be in Park City for 10 days and will be writing reviews (which I will post), working for Slamdance film festival (an alternative to Sundance), and completing a profile of a director, actor, or producer which will involve an indepth interview.
The movies that I have tickets to now are Cold Souls (a science fiction feature with Paul Giamatti), Brief Interviews with Hideous Men (a film based on a novel directed, produced, and starring John Krasinki or Jim from the Office), The End of the Line ( a documentary about the lack of fish on Earth (don't ask)), Shrink ( a movie about a Hollywook psychiatrist starring Kevin Spacey), The Informers ( a movie written by Bret Easton Ellis (the writer of American Psycho) starring Billy Bob Thornton, Kim Basinger, Mickey Rourke, and Winona Ryder about sex and drugs in LA in the 1980s), and In the Loop ( a British dark comedy about war starring James Gandalfini (Tony Soprano).
Besides these films, I will see at least 3 Slamdance films. I will also try to get into as many other films as I can. The two that I am going to try extremely hard to see are The Carter (a documentary on Lil' Wayne) and It Might Get Loud (a documentary featuring Jack White, The Edge, and Jimmy Page).
There will also be concerts and other events at the festival. For example, the Goo Goo Dolls are playing in a concert on Saturday.
