Getting Ready for Sundance
by Richard Sheehan on January 19, 2012 in Festival Strategy
Well, my Delta app just reminded me to check in for tomorrow morning’s flight to Salt Lake City. My Sundance app is supposedly going to assist me in making sure all of my events and films are on my schedule, but I am sure once we get settled in Park City, I will again resort to running around with my blackberry calendar and a map to make sure we are not late or lost!
Sundance 2012 promises to be a busy one. We are once again a sponsor for the New York Lounge on Main street, where passerby can stop in for free NY bagels and coffee and have a meeting place to plan their day or strategize for their films. Each day, beginning Friday, there is a panel discussion at 11am. HSBC will be hosting one on Monday morning, “The Tax Man Cometh – Financing the NY State Tax Credit”. The lounge also hosts daily musical performances by up & coming singer songwriters at 4pm.
We are most excited to have worked with several of the filmmakers presenting their work at the festival this year, and were able to get tickets to a few of them, including ” Keep The Lights On”, ” Arbitrage” and ” 2 Days in New York”.
We are also looking forward to the NYU Tisch party, dinner with IFP at the beautiful new Montage Hotel, many parties, and most of all catching up with old friends and making new ones.
I’ll keep you posted & will try to get some good photos as well!
