Fantastic for film fans and filmmakers August 4, 2004

4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Sundance is such a cool festival, but has changed radically over the last 10 years (and is still changing). The festival has also taken on a kind of mythical status, and as a result it can sometimes be difficult to separate the reality from the hype. Thankfully this book cuts to the chase and provides a load of info on both the festival and the city of Park City itself. If you're a filmmaker (or wanna-be), then the business section provides a useful insight into how buying and selling operates in a festival context (although I'd love to see more on this topic). The city and festival guides are certainly comprehensive, but the I think the most valuable part of the book is the collection of interviews with different people from across the industry talking about their Sundance experiences and how the festival works for them. This provides a wonderful insight into the inner workings of the festival which isn't available in any of the official literature. A great little book which will definitely make your visit to Park City a breeze!
