It's been a great week in Utah at Sundance. It's been lovely to see a lot of films here this week, to meet emerging filmmakers and actors, that's really what this festival is all about. I've become a fan of a few directors and actors in particular and it's always exciting to meet people whom you admire and who are so talented. The "DARE" premiere was exciting and the film has gotten an extremely warm response from audiences, which is really thrilling. It's been great to be back with the cast and crew, celebrating and reconnecting. We all became incredibly close on-set, as the subject matter was pretty intense and our living spaces were pretty close quarters. We became like a big functional family. Today we got to screen for almost 1300 people at the Eccles theater, which is the biggest theater here at Sundance. That's where we got to premiere "Songcatcher" when we were here with that film in 2000. We've been doing Q&As after the movie with the audience, that's been the most interesting part, hearing their feedback and their questions... a little intimidating when there are 1300 people with questions, but I think we handled it ok! It's been wonderful to hear their questions about our characters and to see how connected the audience really was with the 3 stories. Anyway, if you want to, you can check out darethemovie.com and sign up for updates.
Here are two pics from the Q&A after the screening today
