Sundance: Subject "Blew"

Last night, myself and CinemATL photographer Dan Slemons went to Subject Two (a modern take on the Frankenstein tale) at Sundance's midnight screenings. And it well... it wasn't good. Long, drawn out and boring comes to mind. Seems to be a theme for Sundance this year, so far. Hopefully we'll see some better films later in the week... Apparently, though, there are some good films playing, Charles Judson took in Awesome: I Fuckin' Shot That, the Beastie Boys concert film. He says it lives up to his name, but I'll let him talk more about it later. Before hand, CinemATL took in the party for Somebodies hosted by the Georgia Film, Video & Music office. There were a good many Atlantans present and the party was a great networking experience for most involved. Project Greenlight's John Gulager seemed to have a rather large crowd around him, while Dean Haglund of X-Files fame made an appearance. Apparently, some "bigger" name celebrities dropped by later, but we had to run to the Subject Two screening (that was a mistake). Of course, the party was mainly to celebrate Somebodies, which has received some good buzz at the fest. There are rumors that it's close to getting distribution. One thing before we take off for the day, there seems to be a lot more college-student partiers this year, here for the scene and basically being drunken idiots -- much more than previous years, at least from my experience. Hopefully this will subside after the weekend, but it's been a bit on the annoying side this year.
