Chesapeake Film Festival 2010's Board members and visionary factotums Tom McCall and Doug Sadler are preparing to join the throngs at the annual Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, later this month. They'll be sending daily feeds about who and what they see, their impressions of the films, and their takes on the premier showcase for new films by many of the world's best indie filmmakers. They'll be keeping an eye out for movies to feature at this year's Chesapeake Film Festival, set for Sept. 24-26.
An early report from Tom, who is still in Talbot County gearing up for the trip:
"Hello Film Lovers!
I am frantically going through lists and lists of films that I would love to see at Sundance. Hard-hitting international docs to romantic comedies to cheesy post modern horror. It's all there. But much to my horror, it is hard to get tickets. Even though I registered in the ticket lottery a month ago, all the hot tix are taken. So here comes the creative part...how to still see some good films that I didn't initially pick? 8:30 am screenings are less popular with the party crowd. Midnight screeners are also less popular. I can piece this together!
There is also a vibrant black market outside of every screening. So to the bold go the spoils.
Wish me luck!
Tom"
