It ain't over, but I'm back in ATL
I'm one of the folks who had to leave lovely Park City today and it's a shame.
However, I had an excellent time out there and saw some good films despite the initial ticket dearth.
Half Nelson was another standout of the narrative films I saw thanks to excellent performances from Ryan Gosling, Anthony Mackie, and young one Shareeka Epps (amazing performance)...this films cast and crew contingent rivaled Slamdance's The Other Side and Anthony Mackie was particularly entertaining in the Q & A.
Who Killed the Electric Car? is certainly a must see documentary that'll be released by Sony Pictures classic. In the vein of The Corporation and Enron: Smartest Guys in the Room, it tells yet another tale of corporate underhandedness that is likely not that widely known outside of California...we say the country is getting smaller but this proves that we still aren't noticing quite a bit. Along those lines 'Who Needs Sleep?' is a must see for all you crew members who are putting in ridiculous hours on union or non-union projects. Directed by Haskell Wexler, cinematographer extraordinaire for over 5 decades.
Celebrity sightings...Roger Ebert stalking 'Flashdance' or Burns as he followed them to the Pizza and Noodle shop a second night in a row...but hey, it's nice to have fans like that.
Be on the lookout for reviews coming soon...and More pics.
