Sundance: Day Four-ish
Posted by Chris Madalena & Jenn Dietz on Tue, Jan 22, 2008 at 10:18 PM
Monday was officially the fifth day of the Sundance Film Festival if you count the Gala in Salt Lake City. The fourth in Park City. And it was our third full day here. This is a day that is generally characterized with a lot of transition. The opening weekend is in the books and many folks that only come for the first weekend (since that is when the majority of the bigger films open) head out of town. This year sees yet again most of the first weekend opening films already lined up with distribution by major channels. So with great film geekness, we are getting excited about these next 2 swing days and then the start of our package B selections.Â
Driving in Park City is always a challenge and parking is damn near impossible. With that in mind, we head on down to the box office on Main Street to pick up our tickets for the second half of the festival. While looking for a parking spot, I spy a bunch of freshly stapled posters for the movie we wanted to see tonight, "Goliath." So I jumped out and grabbed one for Hazy. Nothing like below freezing mercury to make sure that you cannot feel your fingers wince in pain while pulling staples out off poles. Once at the box office, we were pleasantly surprised to see there was one ticket available for "Goliath." So tonight's wait-list was already off to a great start.
We arrived around 6pm for our 8:30pm screening. It was an easy commute, because it was at our hotel. Things continued to look up when we realized we were numbers 7 & 8 in the wait-list. No problem getting into this premiere. Since things were less hectic, we took the time to get to know our neighbors and do some short interviews for our film. It was a great way to kill the time and we all swapped stories from the last several festivals we all attended. Like Hazy, some people we talked to have been going to Sundance for 10+ years, so we were able to reflect on the growth of the festival.Â
"Goliath" turned out to be a good example of true indie filmmaking. Unlike many of the other offerings here, which have star power and studio backing, the film was made by two brothers in Austin, Texas. They made the film almost entirely at the houses of their friends and family. The title character in the film is Goliath, a cat who goes missing. Goliath's absence pushes his owner, a middle-aged man in the midst of a divorce and a demotion at work, over the edge. We thoroughly enjoyed this film and the poster we snagged from it, which is now prominently displayed in our hotel room:Â
