Sundance 2012

I can not believe this week has come to an end!  So much thought and planning has gone in to this year of Sundance and I had a great time!  Okay, so I am going to be brief right now and simply recap this year's Sundance events for you.  However, check out the Hen Movie Blog in the near future for some in depth movie reviews from this year's festival.

To recap...
  1. I saw 5 films at 4 different theaters, in 3 days, in 2 cities, with 1 new snazzy coat!
    1. Bachelorette - Super funny
    2. How to Survive a Plague - Inspiring
    3. Liberal Arts - Lovely
    4. The Words - Slightly Disappointing
    5. Predisposed - Surprisingly Great
  2. I cried in 2 films.  No ugly cries though!
  3. I was inspired to action!
  4. I was inspired to read more, to listen to classical music, to write my script and to start planning next year's trip.
Here are some pics from this year's Sundance Film Festival...

We ate at Roosters Brewing Company in Ogden prior to Bachelorette.

YUMMY!

The streets were lined with Sundance banners.

Thank you Melanie for getting all of my tickets.  I promise to be more on top of things next year!  Thank you Melanie and Peggy for being such great movie buddies!  Thank you Peggy for being a great travel companion.  Thank you Lua, Justin, Sione and Lorien for taking care of Mr. Daniel so that I could enjoy my time at Sundance this year.  Thank you Fia for letting me borrow your camera.  Thank you Melanie, Peggy, Cheryl, Laura and Grady for a weeks worth of intelligent, creative and enlightening movie dialogue! 

Can't wait until next year!
