Sundance’s Creamy Center Filling
January 21st, 2008You want celebs? In the town that Redford built, celebs are a buck a dozen. We got Paris Hilton, hosting a party last night. Adrian Grenier (of Entourage, new comedy Adventures of Power and now Discovery Network’s Planet Green) making trouble at Project Greenhouse, only one of three green hubs we’ve discovered thus far. We got Patti Smith and Moby rockin’ out last night at two separate events…We got VP Al Gore, Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker, Fiddy Cent, Lil’Jon, we got NHL greats flippin’ pucks for charity, four dozen A-list actors (Clooney, DeNiro, Woody…) and two hundred dozen A-list producers and directors of…remember …films.And that’s the chewy center, the creamy filling that remains the beating heart of Sundance Film Festival. Once you get here you realize it’s not about the parties you can’t get into, the Uggs, the huge fur couture hats or the black SUVS and Hummers inching up and down Main Street…it’s still about what lil’film gem you’re gonna discover this year.So: time to find a dry cappuccino and (finally) pick up our press passes, so we can take a break from interviewing eco entrepreneurs and celebs at The Giving Suite [ new videos and blogs at http://www.givingsuite.com ], and start checkin’ out this year’s best indie film offerings. Tonight: big party for Half Life
