The Sundance Film Festival kicked of tonight. As celebrities and movie-goers descended on Salt Lake City, Utah, opening night was with DJ Nick Cannon. He played everything form the 80s to now at Harry O’s on Main Street. Surprisingly, it was not a packed house. I’ve been told that lodging is down 10-15 percent this year at Sundance and the street was not as filled with “Sundancers” as usual. Tomorrow, a film with Philip Seymour Hoffman officially kicks off the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.
Today we had a tour of several venues that are still under construction, but will be ready by tomorrow for the first day of the Festival. These venues will be used by celebrities as nightly “hang out” spots or used for press junkets.
It is currently 3 a.m. and my first movie viewing is in eight hours. More to come from the Festival of the year tomorrow...which is actually later today!
