As a follow up to Jeremy Platt’s entertaining BUS TALK, listing the Top Ten overheard snippets of conversations on the packed Sundance bus shuttles, Industry Editor Sandy Mandelberger weighs in with a Top Ten list of his own, of things that would NEVER be heard on the same Festival buses.
TOP TEN THINGS YOU WOULD NEVER HEAR ON A SUNDANCE BUS:
Number Ten: “Gee, I wish all the Sundance movies could be at least one hour longer.”
Number Nine: ““I agree that celebrities should have their own VIP rooms at parties so that they don’t have to mingle with filmmakers or, God forbid, the public.”
Number Eight: “I see nothing wrong with a $75 prix fix for a hamburger and fries….inflated prices at restaurants are just part of the Sundance magic.”
Number Seven: “The Festival wanted to give me a more prestigious press credential, but I told them that I didn’t want to be given priority treatment.”
Number Six: “My assistant collected an obscene amount of Sundance swag for me, but I told her to give it all to the homeless.”
Number Five: “Don’t you find Robert Redford so approachable at parties?”
Number Four: “For me, being an independent filmmaker is about the art, not the money or the endless opportunities for hot casual sex.”
Number Three: “Miramax, Fox Searchlight and Focus Features begged me to release my film, but I’ve decided to self-distribute.”
Number Two: “I don’t care at all about going to parties (by the way, do you have an extra invitation?).
Number One: “It makes perfect sense to have a film festival in a ski resort in the mountains in the middle of fucking winter.”

I think that his proposals make sense... They passed the Senate, and even though it can't be a 100% proof of their value, I still think that they definitely deserve a try.
