SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL 2020
The Sundance Film Festival is an event I’ve had the opportunity of attending several times at this point. The festival is special and magical in so many ways that are hard to describe. The creative energy flowing from every angle, the majestic mountain views from Park City, the brisk air from 10,000 feet, and the excitement of being a part of this unique event just makes Sundance unique to itself. For the 2020 event myself and my colleague Mike Giordano were fortunate to receive press credentials to better cover the festival as a whole. While in Park City we were able to attend various panels, check out a few screenings of upcoming films, hit the slopes for some better views, and catch a few celebrities on the move.
Some of the content we were able to cover included the Taylor Swift documentary from Netflix: Miss Americana, the HBO documentary series McMillions which stars our own Greenville, SC local John Boyanoski, Will Ferrell & Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s new movie: Downhill, Hulu’s new documentary series: Hillary, Mila Kunis’s new film: Four Good Days, and more. We were busy as ever covering everything possible, attending panels, and taking in what was around us while snapping a few nice shots here and there. I would like to give a shout out to Park City Resort and St. Regis Deer Valley for their amazing hospitality while we were in town. Park City Resort provided us with lift tickets and rentals so that we could check out the local slopes and get some skiing & snowboarding under our belts while we were in town, St. Regis Deer Valley provided us with lift tickets as well.
