Author Topic: Sundance Brian Guckian Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 594 From: Dublin, Ireland Registered: Apr 2003 posted 02-13-2006 08:07 AM                     Leo - brilliant ideas there, and they can be followed up. One thing - you say 1-2 prints is the norm for these titles, surely just one more print would help greatly? OK, for sure there is a cost, but can it really be that hard to raise another STG£1000 or so? Are these operations so hamstrung for funds? Surely one more print will cover its cost over time? Forgive me if I sound naive here.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-13-2006 07:22 PM                     Its amazing but Bobby Redford has conceded that his festival is "Getting Out Of Hand" and ruining Park City..... Yep, thats right all you Sundance fans. Apparently he was on the news the other night talking about this and is planning on hosting it differently in the future. Just how he can trim some of the 17,000 extra folks that come to town for this will remain to be seen. I think that most residents around here still wish he'd pack it all off to another state.

What tended to happen was that most of the locals would pack themselves off to other states for the duration, and financed their holidays by renting their homes out to the tennis crowd, sometimes at truly eye-watering rates.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-14-2006 08:14 AM                     Park City had about 300 to 400 inhabitants in the late 70's, then in the early 80's it all started going down hill and this is how it stands today....
