If you're considering going to the Sundance film festival, I'd like to be the first to tell you that it is definitely worth your time. It was an excellent experience. I enjoyed it for its academic merits, in that I saw first hand what experiences to expect if I decide to go into the film industry. I'm sure it is very exciting for the directors when they get to show their movies, to live audiences, for the first time. Aside from the movies, the experience on a whole is great. You'll meet people from all over the world, maybe hit up some ski slopes, see some celebrities, enjoy lots of restaurant food, and generally have more fun than you can shake a stick at. Seriously, I tried to shake a stick at it...couldn't do it. So in summary, go to Sundance, you won't regret it.

Overall, the Sundance Film Festival was an amazing experience.  To see young
filmmakers produce high quality movies on very low budgets gives inspiration
and drive to people like myself that dream of making it big in such a
competitive industry.  I thought that it would be a one time trip for me,
but I will be returning to Sundance as many times in the future as I
possibly can.
