what's happening at SUNDANCE

I've been too busy with the dayjob & attempting to fend off all those nasty germs my co-workers keep sending my way to keep this up to date on any level but here's the latest from SUNDANCE...

Events for Monday 1/23 (thanks to variety & other various film news e-letters):
Selected parties, panels and music set to hit Park City during the film fest. 6-8 p.m.: GLAAD Media Awards nominations announcement & reception (Queer Lounge)7 p.m.: Anthony Rapp performs (449 Main St.)7-9 p.m.: Variety's 10 Directors to Watch party (Stein Eriksen Lodge)8 p.m.- midnight: ITVS 15th anni party (Riverhorse Cafe)8 p.m.: Blender Session for "Half Nelson"; Broken Social Scene performs (TAO/Harry O's)9:30 p.m.-12:30 a.m.: Cinetic Media party (Zoom)9:30 p.m.-12:30 a.m.: Spin Reggaeton party (VW Lounge)9:30 p.m.-1 a.m.: Thrive/Benderspink Prods.

The only news from today's slew of info I thought worth repeating is as follows...if you want more, there are various sites giving detailed updates of the deals/films/etc. See the separate post for a list of film shorts being shown (always more interesting to me than all the big movies attempting to obtain cred by screening at Sundance)...

As far as his filmmaking career is concerned, Robert Redford has three projects on the front burner: one about Jackie Robinson and Branch Rickey and the breaking of baseball's color line, and an adaptation of William Bryson's "A Walk in the Woods," both of which would involve Redford as an actor and producer, and "The Company You Keep," based on Neil Gordon's book about radicals who went underground and changed their identities in the late '60s and early '70s.
