SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL 2008

This may be one of the coolest personal vacations I've ever taken... my 2 best friends invited me on their annual trip to Sundance in Park City, Utah! If you don't know anything about this festival, it was started by Robert Redford and it's all about filmmakers, actors, screenings... some of the movies that made their premiere at Sundance in the past? Napoleon Dynamite, Resovoir Dogs, Little Miss Sunshine, Waitress... the list goes on. We saw 6 movies total while we were there for 5 days and even got ourselves into the Motorola Late Night Lounge and did some good celeb spotting!
Here's how it works... you go to a screening, the director speaks before the film, then afterward, there's a Q&A session... and most of the time, the actors in the movie are there to take questions! This is a pic of Maria Bello and William Hurt - the movie was "The Yellow Hankerchief".
This picture doesn't even do the view in the background justice... the mountains are HUGE and Park City is just so quaint and adorable... it's my two bestest friends that I travelled with, Jason (back) and Jonathan (blue coat).
I am a HUGE celeb gossip junkie, and never miss a day of checking my favorite celeb blog: http://www.perezhilton.com/. Here's Perez himself! Just hangin' on Main Street in Park City...
Another movie we saw was "Blind Date" with Stanley Tucci (you may remember him as Nigel in Devil Wears Prada and a million other projects). He directed and starred in this dark comedy/drama. Loved the movie. He's here at the Q&A with his costar Patricia Clarkson.
This was THE COOLEST moment of the trip. Jason and I were hangin' at the Motorola Late Night lounge... the bathrooms were outside so we were standing in line, and who was standing there just to the right of us? Dave Annable (Justin), Matthew Rhys (Kevin) and Emily VanCamp (Becca) all from the show BROTHERS AND SISTERS! ONE OF MY FAVORITES! Although we thought we should probably play it cool, I opted not. Walked up and asked for a photo op, and they were all happy to oblige. We later saw them inside at the party just hangin' and minglin'. Even playing the Nintendo Wii's that they had set up at the party... LOVE this show, LOVE this pic!
