SNOW SNOW SNOW! We awoke to a world covered in about 6 inches of fresh powder. Today was our earliest day at Sundance as we had Snowboard lessons scheduled for 9am. I wasn’t feeling great and missed the lesson. Neither Danny or Bryce have ever snowboarded; and it was sure to be an entertaining event. After a couple rides down the slope and a whole lot of wipe outs, Danny and Bryce finally got the hang of it. It was great taking a break from the craziness of the festival, and surprisingly enough the slopes were empty. From snowboarding we all headed straight up to the Sundance House on Main Street, snowpants and all, to attend the Utah Film Commission Brunch. Lets start by saying the Guacamole was amazing!
Phil Peters arrived from UCF (he will be speaking on the panel tomorrow with us) and Scott came as well. The lunch was great, our panel and the film were announced and promoted by Marshall Moore and the rest of the Utah Film Commission.
After the panel we went back to the slopes for some more snowboarding. Which was really fun, I felt a little bit better and went up with Bryce and Danny once. After returning our gear, we headed out to Salt Lake City to have dinner with Cowboy Ted from Kane County and Phil Peters. We had Mexican food (sadly no gaucamole) and talked for a long time about shooting our film, the Utah Film Incentive, and our plans for tomorrow. After this dinner; I feel really good about the panel and our presentation.
Tonight The Johnsons arrived (Terry, Les and Jake) and we headed over to meet them at their hotel in Salt Lake. Seeing Jake as a kid and not as “Darrell” again was really cool. The Johnsons are really wonderful and we are so excited to have Jake be on our panel tomorrow as well.
We will have some new pics up tomorrow morning… as soon as Danny recovers from snowboarding!
