My Chance at Sundance

Hey everyone. I just got back from my two days at the Sundance Film Festival and thought I'd share with you what I saw.

Since I was only there for such a short time, my mom and I only got tickets to two screenings, both of which were really cool.


The first screening we saw was actually a shorts program featuring 6 really different short films by people from all over the world. Two of them, I'm sad to say, I totally didnt get - maybe I was just being dense, but don't you hate it when afterwards you're like "What the hell did i just watch? What was the POINT?". Two of them were decent but the two worth mentioning were called BITCH (which i cant find a link for)and THE SUBSTITUTE which was my favorite and if you watch it i think you'll see why: watch me!


The second one we saw was FINISHING THE GAME, a quirky little comedy done in the same style as A MIGHTY WIND and CONFETTI (mockumentary?), was very entertaining and well-done. Not too drawn out and well-paced. I would recommend anyone who enjoys that style of film to check it out if/when it goes mainstream. Here is some info on it.

Seeing the series of shorts was definitely my favorite and i really wanted to see another one since they had over 72 shorts to show. But we could NOT get tickets to save our lives!

If you are interested, you can watch all (i think) of the short films here:
